--f4b2qcw6lssdp66x Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I ran into an "interesting" issue today using the devel/awscli port.=20 aws help generates almost unreadable output using the "standard" shell .profile, etc= =2E=20 The reason is it uses $PAGER or $MANPAGER if it's present, and the skeleton sets: PAGER=3Dmore which, using the .rst files that awscli has, just makes the output ESC=20 sequences get printed and not acted upon.=20 I'm wondering if there would be any objections to changing the "standard"= =20 skeleton PAGER environment to: PAGER=3D"more -R" so the ESC sequences get passed through to the terminal unmolested and do t= he right thing.
