w3-el 2.2.25-4 released
w3-el is a www browser for emacs.
This version fixes some packaging problems, and brings w3-el up to the
current release version. [I had uploaded and announced a
w3-el-2.2.25-1 some time ago, but never saw it in the archive. Anyone
know what happened to it?]
This fixes the following bugs:
######################################################################
#1969 w3-el recommends things that don't exist
#1815 w3-el recommends netpbm | pbmplus
pbmplus isn't free -- this has been demoted to an option.
netpbm doesn't exist any more -- I've left this as an option, as it
may again exist at some point in the future...
Note that these would primarily be useful with Xemacs, as Xemacs
allows the display of inline graphics. [But I think the byte code is
different, which implies I'd need to make another package if support
for Xemacs is ever needed.]
Also, I should note that w3-el tends to rely fairly heavy on the
command line interface to various viewers. In a number of cases, I've
documented this by refering to packages which do not yet exist, in the
hopes that some one else would provide these packages. I've put
together an mpeg package to fill one of these slots... [I've also not
seen that on the debian archive, and I could have sworn I uploaded it
properly and announced it on debian-changes -- maybe I'm doing
something wrong?]
######################################################################
#1678 w3-el: no install-info; elisp files; mailcrypt
mailcrypt is no longer included in w3-el
postinst calls install-info
Note that I've left the elisp files in place. I feel the proper way
for dealing with this is a follow-on cleanup process run as part of
normal dpkg processing. For example, you could install this as
/usr/local/bin/dpkg:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
/usr/bin/dpkg "$@"
# remove unwanted .el files
find /usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp -name '*.el' |
while read f
do
if [ -f ${f}c ]
then
rm $f
fi
done
exit 0
It would be nice if dpkg provided facilities to do this more directly
(e.g. to run some script with an argument indicating which packages
where changed, and in what fashion, with tools for addressing the dpkg
data structures). But, ultimately, this is a local administrative
matter.

The problem here was empty files not showing up in the diff. These
files are no longer empty.
