Bugzilla Bug 3685

Hi,

Here's an ebuild file for Japanese enabled less (jless).

This is one of the must-item for those who lives on Japanese/UNIX.

Thank you very much.

jless-358.254.ebuild (New)

well... we can't quite do it the way you have it... but check this out :
http://www.lostlogicx.com/ebuilds/less-iso254-358.ebuild
btw, I really liked some of the shell magic you did in the ebuild you created
... it just really didn't follow our accepted way of handling things...

I'll have to run this by another dev before I can include it as I have done it...

I'm curious, is there any reason to not apply this patch to less in general?
because if not, we may also consider doing that...

As far as I have reviewed/emerged/used in LANG=C/ja_JP.eucJP,
your ebuild is perfect.
I am happy if you could merge it into the portage distribution.
Thank you.

Well, that's my fault and please don't mind.
I should have follow instructions in gentoo.org.
I was just a little frastrated by the manner to handle rather
bigger patches, that is not suitable to be put in files/ directory.
Sorry about my trick.

Well, as far as I understand, jless shall work exactly same as normal less
when LANG/LC_ALL/LESSCHARSET and other environment variables are set to C.
So, I don't see any reason not apply this patch to the sys-apps/less.
Exception: the versions between sys-apps/less and app-i18n/less-iso254 are
different, 371 vs. 358.
Also, I have not test the negative inpact into other LANGs such as Korean,
German, etc.

Thank you very much.
