[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#693944: /usr/bin/lessc: --help fails, no man page

[Jason Woofenden]

Dear maintainer,

I'd love to see some documentation for lessc. I just wasted some
time setting up a css compressor, before reading some of the source
code for lessc and discovering that it has commandline options to
(among other things) compress the output.

lessc doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. Not on the home page,
no man page, and ``lessc --help`` gives a stacktrace because of a
missing module.

In addition to fixing ``lessc --help`` please create a man page.

How to reproduce:

	$ man lessc
	No manual entry for lessc
	See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
	zsh: exit 16    man lessc


	$ lessc --help

	module.js:337
    	    throw new Error("Cannot find module '" + request + "'");
          	^
	Error: Cannot find module '../lib/less/lessc_helper'
    	    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:337:11)
    	    at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
    	    at Module.require (module.js:359:17)
    	    at require (module.js:375:17)
    	    at /usr/bin/lessc:54:13
    	    at Array.filter (native)
    	    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/bin/lessc:26:13)
    	    at Module._compile (module.js:446:26)
    	    at Object..js (module.js:464:10)
    	    at Module.load (module.js:353:32)
	zsh: exit 1     lessc --help


Thank you.
