my freebsd less is 563. stable debian is 551. less 608 was releaseed september 2nd 2022... this happens so often... i find a new cool cli tool, only for it to have a dependency on a newer version of something. so i can't use it until next OS upgrade, and by then, i've forgotten about it cause i never got to test it out. i guess devs just don't use OS packages and compile every single tool they use? i used to do that, when i used slackware in the '90s.
