reassign 248302 less
thanks
In response to bug #124097, the zless script now looks like:
#!/bin/sh
PATH="BINDIR:$PATH"; export PATH
LESSOPEN="|gzip -cdfq %s"; export LESSOPEN
exec less "$@"
So the mis-handling of a compressed file handed to zless on stdin
appears to indicate that less is doing something unexpected with the
value of %s and/or not using LESSOPEN at all in this case. If it called
gzip with %s set to -, things would work, since this works fine:
cat frog.gz | gzip -cdfq -
I don't see any reasonable way to satisfy both 124097 and 248302 with a
change in the zless wrapper. If you do, feel free to provide a patch.
Having less do the right thing in the presence of this LESSOPEN content
seems like the best solution.
