Hi there,
here's a thought on terminal pagers in Dragora:
Let's throw out /bin/more and just link it to /bin/less.
The less(1) command does have a more(1) compatibility mode. So, there
should be no harm in not having more(1) on the system.
On NetBSD, for example, /usr/bin/more is a hard link to /usr/bin/less.
The Linux more(1) command is part of the 'util-linux' package, which –
for whatever reason – also still ships the ancient pg(1) pager.
My suggestion is therefore to build 'util-linux' without those two
utilities for Dragora.
What do you think?
Michael
