There is a source package in main called elinks, which has two binary
packages: elinks & elinks-lite
The elinks target does not have the full features of elinks compiled in,
so I decided to make another package elinks-full with full feature
support (except for a feature that depends on a library that isn't in
Ubuntu yet). As some of those features depend on other packages that are
in universe, hence I decided to make a separate source package for
elinks-full (instead of making elinks-full a binary package which is
resulting from the elinks source package), that source package is now on
REVU (http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=3106), and I was advised by
dholbach to discuss this issue here, as there are two source packages
sharing the same .orig tarball.
Also there is another issue, the configure script of elinks checks for
python using a "-lpython" switch (for the compiler), now Ubuntu doesn't
have libpython.so, instead it has libpython<version>.so, since the
default version of Python in Dapper & Edgy is 2.4, so I made a patch for
configure script to change the "-lpython" to "-lpython2.4". I was
wondering is there another way to make configure script detect the
correct version of Python to link against ?
Thanks...
