Package: jless
Version: 382-iso262-2.1
Severity: important

Hi,

 One user claims jless is buggy, it hangs with reading a bit large file (1MB
 or so). I confirmed it with chromium's copyright file.



 And I think it should be removed from next release.

 - It cannot be used under UTF-8 (default locale), needs ja_JP.EUC-JP locale.
   And we don't support EUC-JP locale.
 - Dead upstream
   (http://www.pobox.com/~jam/less/ redirects to auther's(?) blog.
    we can see it as 
http://web.archive.org/web/20070317201620/http://www25.big.jp/~jam/less/ )
 - It's fork of less, but its base version is too old
    * less  -> 444
    * jless -> 382
 - Now we have alternate pager "lv", its upstream is still alive

 We should drop jless from testing and consider to maintain (rebase newer less
 version, at least) it or not.
