TERM=vt100 for lynx in rules ?

[Taketoshi Sano <sano@debian.org>]

Hi.

The debian/rules of ph2v23 has 

  lynx -dump -nolist debian/local/XFree86-FAQ.html > debian/local/XFree86-FAQ.text

But lynx do not work without TERM setting if build is started as a batch process
(using "at" for ex.)

Can you use this patch for debian/rules ?

I think this enables the build using batch process (maybe it works for buildd).

The build log shows:

   Thu Oct 26 17:22:43 UTC 2000

   Full build of Release 6.4 of the X Window System complete.

   make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/build/xfree86v4/build/xfree86-4.0.1/build-tree/xc'
   # build Debian's X server wrapper
   cc -Wall -g -O2 -o debian/local/xserver-wrapper debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c
   # generate text version of some HTML docs
   lynx -dump -nolist debian/local/XFree86-FAQ.html > debian/local/XFree86-FAQ.text

   Your terminal lacks the ability to clear the screen or position the cursor.

   make: *** [debian/stampdir/build] Error 1

Thanks.

P.S.

You're welcome :) and thank you for your great works.
I wish to have the official unstable 4.0.x in Debian sooner.

 (woody is planned to be frozen at mid or end of Jan, and current 3.3.6 
  has problem with the locale settings and with the resource handling 
  for us because of the recent change in libc6).

BTW, Build-Depends should also include groff ?

Regards.
