right. I'd rather not make a commitment to 2.5x in its current state. I do have a resync of my patch (which I use for ncurses, vile and several other programs) against 2.50, but I see that patches to 2.5x come out too frequently to regard any as a release. > > while I'm replying to you (you seem to be the new Debian package maintainer > > for lynx): > > Yes that's right.

I pointed out for instance that mouse support on rxvt is a slang bug, not related to lynx. There are some others that can similarly be closed. (xterm also has a number marked "done", which I gather is not the same as "closed", since several have been in that state for months). -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
