Re: new version of "less" pager

[Austyg <austyg@gmail.com>]

Thanks to all for good clues.
v451 of "less" is desirable because it adds support for GNU regular expressions.
Since the "to do" section of http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/less.html says:

"A new upstream version is available: 451, you should consider packaging it."

It looks like it will eventually move through "unstable",  and next
iteration of "testing".  I'll keep an eye open for it.  I'll try the
back-ports route if my need becomes pressing.

Incidentally, Debian packages tracking is very pleasant; I find
"experimental", "unstable", "testing",  "stable" process quite
sensible, effective.

Cheers!
