Synopsis
less Shift_JIS enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated less packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The less packages provide a text file browser that resembles the "more" utility,
but with more capabilities. The "less" utility allows users to move backwards in
the file as well as forwards. Because "less" does not need to read the entire
input file before it starts, "less" starts up more quickly than text editors
(like vi, for example). Shift JIS (SJIS) is a character encoding for the
Japanese language. The "less Shift_JIS" packages provide "less" support for
SJIS.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- With this update, the "less Shift_JIS" packages have been brought up-to-date
with the latest version of the "less" packages in order to ensure mutual
compatibility. (BZ#1175049)
All users who require SJIS encoding support for the "less" utility are advised
to upgrade to these updated packages, which add this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
