Package: less Version: 481-2.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
yes, I have seen the comments that you think that lessfile/lesspipe should be rewritten in perl. That not being done, I still would like to have an improvement to the shell versions of the scripts. Log files that use a Unix time stamp as a time stamp are very hard to comprehend for a human. How about lessfile/lessdate recognizing a 10 digit number that translates to a time, for example, a year in the past and a month in the future and translating (or augmenting) the number with its translation to a readable ISO 8601 time stamp? This would probably need to be disabled by default and enabled by an environment variable.
