urlview for DEBIAN ----------------- I created the urlview package with some slight modifications on the upstream sources. The most important is that debian's urlview will read a system-wide configuration file. This allows the system administrator to set a unified way to handle embedded URLs. Note that using double quotes rather than single quotes in the COMMAND might have nasty effects. Check urlview's manual page for more info on this. This release has changed the url-handler.sh to a version developed by Martin Schulze . It's now a bash shell script that will try to use any of the mentioned programs. There is a configuration section at the top of the file after the license statement. For each type of tag we have (www)prgs="/path/to/program1:TAG1 /path/to/program2:TAG2 ..." The script will try to execute the first of those found. The TAG is interpreted to check how this program is to executed. There are currently three possible tags, XW: The program works only under X VT: Launch this program in the current terminal XT: Launch a new xterm (if under X) and run the program there or do as in VT. XTERM holds the name of the terminal program used. This can be changed to any program of your liking but care should be taken so that it support the standard -T option to set the title.
