Package: gzip Version: 1.3.5-15 Followup-For: Bug #51162
I suggest that you stop shipping zless. lessfile and lesspipe work better; their only disadvantage is that they don't try to decompress files not ending in .gz, but I don't think this is important. Further, by using lesspipe/lessfile one can use the ~/.lessfilter feature, which is incompatible with zless, which overrides LESSOPEN. Hence, unless one works with compressed files without a .gz suffix, lesspipe/lessfile is a better choice, and I think not having zless would help to make this more obvious to users, and stop them using an inferior solution. If you think that zless should be retained, then please mention lessfile/lesspipe in zless(1). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gzip depends on: ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries gzip recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
