Portmaster and less

[Ronald Klop]

PAGER=more portmaster...
I do this with mergemaster. Somehow someone decided that the behavior of less is the best and made it the default a while ago.


Probably this https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13465
Something about "the nineties", but no further rationale.


Regards,
Ronald.
