Package: less Version: 436-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/lesspipe Currently lesspipe defines handlers for compression (e.g. .gz) and for binary files (e.g. .pdf). However it does not correctly handle both together (e.g. .pdf.gz).
It would be nice if lesspipe handled this by either recursing over extensions until there are no known extensions to consume. If that's too "clever", the immediate symptom (handling .pdf.gz files) could be implemented by performing two passes -- one for compression extensions, and one for all other extensions. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-23-openvz (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand less recommends no packages. less suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
