Re: [elinks-users] elinks vs. elinks-lite
Jeff, I'm not sure myself, but maybe you could install both and see what features they were both compiled with and compare the two. tom 2012/8/19 elinks-users-requ...@linuxfromscratch.org Send elinks-users mailing list submissions to elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to elinks-users-requ...@linuxfromscratch.org You can reach the person managing the list at elinks-users-ow...@linuxfromscratch.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of elinks-users digest...

| Description: advanced text-mode WWW browser - lightweight version
| ELinks is a feature-rich program for browsing the web in text mode. It is
| like enhanced Lynx and Links. The most noteworthy features of ELinks are:
| .
| * Lots of protocols (local files, finger, HTTP(S), FTP, IPv4/6 etc.)
| * Persistent cookies, HTTP authentication and proxy authentication
| * Tabbed browsing, good looking menus and dialogs, and key-binding manager
| * History browsing and typeahead searches
| * Tables and frames rendering, and configurable color support
| * Compressed and background (non-blocking) downloads, and download resuming
| .
| This lite version contains no scripting or extra features but doesn't
| depend on other libraries either, so it is useful for small systems.
| Homepage: http://elinks.cz/
| Tag: implemented-in::c, interface::text-mode, network::client,
protocol::{ftp,http,ipv6,ssl}, role::program, scope::application,
use::browsing, web::browser, works-with::text, works-with-format::html,
works-with-format::plaintext
As far as I know, this is not an ELinks issue per se.. Distribution
maintainers may create alternative packages that use less resources
and with fewer deendencies, presumably by disabling certain features
when they configure the package.
The above is from a debian squeeze install.
You may want to ask on your distribution's mailing list or IRC channel.

Here is a snippet from the Debian elinks rules (build) file: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/elinks.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=c0c12bbfff193625a32b06642892f42485b015c8;hb=debian/unstable#l28 Here, you can clearly see which options are disabled for the lite version, under confopts_lite. The rule that I follow when creating the elinks-lite package is that except for TLS functionality, there should not be any other library dependencies. So far this has worked well, but I am willing to break the rule in case there is an extremely compelling feature.
