[Surfraw-devel] Bug#917424: surfraw: elvi incompatible with text-browsers

[Boruch Baum]

Package: surfraw
Version: 2.2.9-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The package is meant to be a command line convenience tool; however, it
uses web-sites that aren't compatible with command-line (ie. text)
browsers.

Examples:

1)  elvi: currency
    there are many alternative sites and services; surely one can be
    found to be compatible with a text browser?

2)  elvi: wolfram
    site requires javascript


BTW: I originally wanted to submit this report upstream directly;
however, the developers have chosen to host the project on gitlab, which
doesn't accept my email domain as legitimate for registration.

Versions of packages surfraw depends on:
ii  falkon [www-browser]       3.0.0-3
ii  firefox-esr [www-browser]  60.4.0esr-1
ii  lynx [www-browser]         2.8.9rel.1-2
ii  w3m [www-browser]          0.5.3-36+b1

ii  curl           7.62.0-1
ii  libwww-perl    6.36-1
pn  surfraw-extra  <none>
ii  w3m            0.5.3-36+b1
ii  wget           1.20-1
