Hi Chris, hi Johannes! I made a first attempt of implementation for this feature in apt-listbugs. In the public git repository, branch `master`, you can find the relevant changes to the apt-listbugs package. In the next weeks, I will not have much time to dedicate to apt-listbugs, hence the next upload to Debian unstable won't happen too soon. Sorry about that! However, if you like, you may test this new feature from the tip of the git branch `master`, as a preview. In case you have time and are willing to do so, please let me know how it went: does the new feature meet your needs? Please take into account that the escape sequences for hyperlinks are generated by apt-listbugs unconditionally, even when stdout is not a terminal. This means that you may, for instance, redirect the stdout of apt-listbugs to a file and later see the hyperlinks, when viewing that file with `less -R`. This is the reason why I implemented the hyperlink generation as an unconditional feature... On the other hand, if you open that file with `vim`, you will see the escape sequences and the URLs, rather than the interpreted and working hyperlinks (I am not aware of a method to change this behavior of VIM in Debian): depending on whether you want to edit the escape sequences, or to click on them, this may or may not be the desired result in VIM... I hope you may enjoy the convenience of terminal hyperlinks! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
