 |
|
the latest less ebuild (sys-apps/less-378-r1.ebuild) sets $LESS to '-r' by default (/etc/env.d/70less). the ebuild says that this is "needed for groff-1.18 and later". but when using 'less -r', some files are not displayed correctly. e.g.: | Code: | $ less -r /usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist
# Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
... |
the first line is not displayed!
| Code: | $ head -n3 /usr/lib/portage/bin/pkglist
#! /usr/bin/env python2.2
# Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 |
when viewing files with less, after moving around with 'j' and 'k', the first line is displayed, but the second line is not. and so on...
can anybody confirm this bug? or is it just my box? btw: 'less -R' (capital R) seems to work.
TIA, jukka |
