Package: links
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist
FAQ.
Q: 'links', 'links-ssl', 'elinks', which should I use?
A: I prefer 'elinks'. I see no point to use 'links' (without ssl) unless you
live in a weird crypto-free country. 'links-ssl' does not really give you
any advancement over 'elinks'. You can download 'links2' and try its
graphical features and javascript simulation, though.
Q: Will the links 2.xx (graphical client) be packaged?
A: It is packaged, but not yet included in main due to lack of testing (and
see next Q). Test and report whether it's work for you. See
ftp://yikes.tolna.net/pub/linux/release/debian/ for the package.
Q: Will links 2.xx be included in main?
A: Without SSL unless they change the license, which now conflicts between
OpenSSL and GPL. RSN.
Q: Why links2 does not work with svgalib?
A: Because you have to be root to do that. No, I will not suid root it, it's
too big and unaudited. Yes, you can always use sudo.
Q: Will be package 'links' contain original code and not ELinks in main?
A: Yes. Pending. Hold your breath. See links-ssl or elinks until then.
Q: Will 'links' in main contain SSL?
A: No, unless either it links against GNUTLS or changes licence, see Q2.
Q: Will ELinks contain SSL in main?
Q: Why isn't there elinks-ssl?
A: It already does support SSL, friend. Why don't you check first? (It is
linked against GNUTLS, no licence problems.)
Q: Your ftpserver isn't working!!!!!
A: Try next day. I had a problem with the hardware.
Q: Why do you submit bugs against your own package?
A: Because I am an optimist and hope that you check BTS first, complain
after. (links2 package does not exist yet, so no readme for it yet)
A: Because not all of you do read readme.Debian, for unexplainable reasons.

This is not relevant anymore, and doesn't belong into the BTS,
it's a BTS not a FAQ page after all.
