1. Download latest less(1) tarball. The homepage of less(1) is at:
http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/
2. Export the tarball into a directory, (say "v-less").
3. Checkout our contrib/less code into another directory (say "f-less"),
with -rLESS.
4. Copy v-less/ files over f-less, check if there is any files that is
removed by vendor, or newly added, note them.
5. do cvs up -A in f-less, resolve the conflicts.
6. Regenerate defines.h:
./configure --prefix=/ --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --datarootdir=/usr/share
7. Manually merge changes into src/usr.bin/less/defines.h; adjust
Makefile glue to reflect added/removed files.
8. Replace your src/contrib/less with the merged copy, and do a ``make
universe'' to make sure that nothing was broken;
9. If everything goes well, do the actual import from v-less:
cvs -n import src/contrib/less LESS v<version>
Seems everything is fine? Go with:
cvs import src/contrib/less LESS v<version>
10. Resolve the conflicts with the patchset found in step 5.
