Upgrade to less-335 PR: ports/10968 Submitted by: Chris Piazza <cpiazza@home.net>6d7516eb3a
${MASTER_SITE_GNU} got rearranged in December; let's catch up.5261958626Remove miscellaneous manpages.39448a6b27
Add lessecho7813c20b11
Upgrade to 332 (Peter says TAGGED)1c7dab8ffb
Compress a bunch of manpages. Remove unnecessary @ directives from PLISTs. Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during package building.c98cfd116d
Use MASTER_SITE_GNU Use MAN? macros. CATEGORIES+= -> CATEGORIES.5dba7b6e29
Converted to MAN[1-8] Converted p5* to use MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN090316dbc1
CATEGORIES+= --> CATEGORIES= Misc variable reordering, cleaning up, etc.47a616f11d
Remove package name4424da6c33
Upgrade to 3217bc803694a
Replace the color: target with a macro. If you want to build less with colour, you need to define COLOUR_LESS (or if you are from a place that is speling impaired, COLOR_LESS will do ;-)) OKed by: asami and othersb867e24453
Change "utilities" category to "misc" in preparation for move to misc.e34d788c22
Add MAINTAINER= ache@FreeBSD.ORG to Andrey's ports. Clean up some Makefiles along the way.19e38c2e9f
Upgrade.50ff3e5303
Add CATEGORIES lines to a whole bunch of port Makefiles. Some ports are in multiple catagories - I'll expect the various MAINTAINERS to make further adjustments (and add any KEYWORDS lines) themselves.ac3066bf75
Upgrade.a11b5f6cc8
Put back in the color patch, but not as default. User should explicitly type "make color" to get the color version. This should make both Andrew and people who requested color-less happy. :)2db58e929d
Checksum.245813abd5
Add the COMMENT, DESCR and PLIST files in the pkg directory so that less can now also be build as a package.f771173e02
