--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 208-2 Severity: wishlist Hi Ender, I've been trying to write this bug report up as a request for more visible documentation of this change, but it keeps turning into a wishlist submission, so I thought I'd be honest with myself and file it that way. The changelog.Debian.gz entry for xterm 208-1 of 6 Jan 2006 states: - add charClass resource to XTerm.ad and UXTerm.ad which simplifies selecting URLs 1. I feel that this is a poor choice and should be reverted. xterm now equates all of '!#%&+,-./:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with letters and numbers. More restrictive word selection, allowing the selection of a file name from a complete pathname, is A Good Thing. The onus of figuring out why xterms act differently from the default behavior described in the man page and how to fix it should not be placed on the new user. But hey, that's my opinion, and its your package. If you disagree, then I gracefully withdraw the wishlist request. 2. If the change stays, it should be more visibly documented. Shouldn't this be documented somewhere more prominent than the changelog, say README.Debian at the very least. How about: As of version 208-2, /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm contains a charClass resource to simplify selecting URLs. Individual users may override this with following line to their ~/.Xresources file: *charClass: 3. In any case, I'd like to report a couple of typos.
