Description Seth Robertson 2009-03-11 15:52:03 UTC

mail-client/nmh-1.3-r1 emerge fails if $PAGER contains arguments, like "less -r"

(yes, I am aware of the $LESS variable, I don't want it for every usage of less, only the $PAGER ones)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.PAGER="less -r" emerge nmh
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
configure: error: unrecognized option: -r


Expected Results:  
successful emerge

Strip any arguments from the pager
$ENV{'PAGER'} =~ s/\s.*//

Please see http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=240761&action=view in Bug 319937 for an ebuild which includes this fix.

nmh was removed from portage, therefore closing as wontfix for now.
new ebuilds should go in bug 336057.
