Nope, given the initial quoted email from the main developer, I gave it |
| 14 |
zero chance of success, and not worth the bother. AFAICT I posted the |
| 15 |
patch to the public domain, so anyone can take it and use it as they see |
| 16 |
fit. |

Also, if Gentoo would ship this package, it probably should have this |
| 19 |
patch since it would enable the package to work with our default |
| 20 |
settings. However, we don't ship this package. I made a preliminary |
| 21 |
ebuild, but ran into some issues, e.g. it cannot replace `/usr/bin/man` |
| 22 |
because that would break lesspipe.sh's ability to view manpages. |
| 23 |
Concluding that (for me) the manpages didn't render any faster, or |
| 24 |
better -- I'd say even worse since I got no colours -- I decided to |
| 25 |
leave the package as is, because of no gain. |
