Not entirely sure why it's needed but I'd like to tackle this to become better at packaging c for conda cross-platform. :).

@corneliusroemer: Could you tell me more about your use case? Any requests for which regex engine to use?

manics commented 2 months ago

less is already available for Windows: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/m2-less

corneliusroemer commented 2 months ago

@tetov No preference for which regex engine to use. Use case is for example installation of less via micromamba docker image - we include it in Nextstrain docker runtime which we try to mirror in our conda runtime, but less is one of the packages missing so far. Reduced Dockerfile complexity. Also as @manics mentions, nice to have on Windows.
