I wouldn't say it is better. I wanted to disable the behavior of less -F but quilt's use of LESS wasn't documented. I chose to add QUILT_LESS_ARGS simply to be consistent with other Quilt env variables, and also to be consistent with other tools that page their output (e.g. MANPAGER, GIT_PAGER, etc.). If you wish to revert my change and simply document LESS I believe that would also suit my needs. _______________________________________________ Quilt-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/quilt-dev
