#37595: p5-app-ack: Rename to ack -----------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: raimue@… | Owner: mschout@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: rename Port: p5-app-ack ack | -----------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by mschout@…): Replying to [ticket:37595 raimue@…]:
The p5-app-ack port does not provide a perl module but an application. Currently there are several ports where each installs a different `ack-5.XY`. Subports work for modules targeting multiple versions of perl5, but this is not useful for an application.
This port should be available as plain `ack`.
It *is* available as plain ack. You just need to set your path properly. If you prefer version 5.14 of perl for example, your path needs to have /opt/local/libexec/perl5.14 in it. This is how macports handles bin scripts for multiple versions of perl. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37595#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
