Package: less Version: 481-2.1ubuntu0.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Enclosed below are recipes from my ~/.lessfilter for viewing .whl and .egg files in less(1) which I hope will be of general use and worthy of inclusion in lesspipe. The wheel (.whl) format and its predecessor the egg (.egg) are the official built-package formats for the Python programming language. Both formats are implemented as zipfiles containing a directory of metadata alongside the actual Python files. My recipes (in imitation of lesspipe's .deb recipe) display the primary metadata file, a blank line, and the list of files in the zipfile. The primary metadata includes the package's entire README, which is frequently very long, and so I have inserted sed(1) commands to remove this field. If you need egg and/or wheel files to test against, I would direct you to possibly the most popular Python project that still provides both: <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_scm/#downloads> *.egg) if [ -x "`which unzip`" ]; then unzip -p "$1" EGG-INFO/PKG-INFO | \ sed '/^Description:/,/^\S/{/^Description:/d; /^\S/b; d}' echo unzip -v "$1" else echo "No unzip available" fi ;; *.whl) if [ -x "`which unzip`" ]; then unzip -p "$1" '*.dist-info/METADATA' | sed '/^$/q' unzip -v "$1" else echo "No unzip available" fi ;; -- John Wodder -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-72-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 4.7 ii libc6 2.23-0ubuntu7 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1 less recommends no packages. less suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
