To enable certificate handling for SSL connnections, set
SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE in your environment to the
proper values (depending upon which SSL library
/usr/local/bin/lynx uses), as described in:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.sslcerts

and:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.rootcerts.

You may also need to generate keys and certificates as
described in the latter document and your SSL documentation.

Mark it broken, because it doesn't compile on a -current system. Andrey discusses the reason and possible solutions on the lynx mailing lists. On stable it compiles fine. As requested by:	Andrey

Make fetch didn't work anymore with version 0.51. So I had to update to new version lynx2.7.1ac-0.54. I hope Andrey agrees, although I didn't ask him before. Make package still works ;-)

Put "+fotemods" in front of version numbers in PKGNAME, it is not allowed to have long strings like that in or after version numbers.

Bring fotemods back (for security reasons, see recent CERT report) Add windows-1251 WinCyrillic translation table

Remove www.wfbr.edu as MASTER_SITE since it just returns a  redirect to www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/ (the other MASTER_SITE).
