https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245743 Bug ID: 245743 Summary: www/elinks: update to 0.12? Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: beat@FreeBSD.org Reporter: msl0000023508@gmail.com Assignee: beat@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(beat@FreeBSD.org) The ELinks stable branch 0.11 is quiet old, and leaks many important featre= s, such as UTF-8 support. Althouth 0.12 branch is still marked as 'unstable' offically, and only has prereleases available, those prereleases are already more than 10 years old. Most GNU/Linux distributions are already switched to 0.12 many years ago, a= nd some of them even switched to 0.13 branch recently in their stable releases. I always appreciating the ports tree that provides an easy way to build and install a wide range of programs, and yet flexible to configure them to fit local requirements (by port options). But www/elinks is not the case, it is definitely not update-to-date for me. Surely I can always build and install a newer version from source manually,= but it would be very convenience to have that available from ports, especially = when another port may depending on such version. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
