Re: web browser url viewing proposal
Joey Hess wrote: My proposal adds: - /usr/bin/x-www-browser alternative formalized in policy - /usr/bin/www-browser alternative added for non-X browsers - /usr/bin/sensible-browser, presumably to debianutils, a sample implementation attached to this message understands BROWSER, and can use www-browser or x-www-browser as fallback - programs that want to open an url in a browser can call sensible-browser or check BROWSER themselves with fallback I second this proposal, especially since I proposed a sensible-browser program one year and a half ago in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200104/msg00300.html and the problems I intended to resolve are still in woody.

Bug#167604: debian-policy: provides the exception of static libraries.
