Hash: SHA1
A new release of more, 2.11o-2, is available.
NEWS:
=====
This is a minor bugfix release - more was recompiled against newer
versions of libraries so that it can now access large files and no longer
has the security flaw of the older regular expression parser libpcre.
This package is in need of adoption; I only uploaded a recompilation of a
3-year-old snapshot as a service to fix installation difficulties since
the old version depended on the now-obsolete libpcre. Meanwhile, the
upstream sources that more was extracted from (the util-linux collection)
have reached version 2.13. If you don't like how more was packaged, or
want to pick up the upstream patches to more from the newer util-linux,
then consider volunteering to be the maintainer.
DESCRIPTION:
============
More is a minimal pager. It is provided because POSIX requires more and
some old scripts depend on more existing, although it does not yet
implement all POSIX-required features. You are probably better off using
the 'less' package for your pager.
UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'more' from
the 'Text' category.
DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
