package less submitter 498746 Tong Sun <[email protected]> thanks Hi Tong,
The release notes for less version 440 http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/news.440.html notes: Version 440 was released on 5 Jan 2011. These are the differences between version 436 and version 440: Add -A option to change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and not just the portion after the target line. Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component of the input file. Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect. Fix "ungetc overflow" when passing long commands via the -p option. Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command in combination with -i and -I. ******** Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option. Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings. Improve handling of long option names. Improve percentage calculation for very large files. It says the negative arguments to the -j option was fixed, but I grabbed the source from unstable with: apt-get source less/unstable (assume that you have the sources for unstable in your /etc/apt/sources.list) and compiling the source and testing seems to not result in what I expected. Can you test the new version, and see if it is fixed?
