[PATCH 0/1] w3m: Change source and update


From: Leo Famulari
Subject: [PATCH 0/1] w3m: Change source and update
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 14:26:54 -0500

This patch fixes bug#16791. There is some background in the bug's thread
[0].

Basically, our current source for w3m seems to be abandoned [1].

There is an active development fork at Debian [2] that fixes bug#16791.
They have also fixed several other SSL/TLS issues, as well as both of
the patches / substitutions currently applied to our package. They are
also addressing bugs and integrating patches from other distros (at
least, I saw work from Ubuntu and Gentoo).

I think the Debian repo is our best source for w3m.

I have emailed the person doing most of the work in the Debian repo for
advice about packaging, such as which branch and tags are most suitable.

Until they reply, here is my best effort patch, based on the latest
non-Debian release tag on the master branch.
