#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 raimue@…): Replying to [comment:2 mschout@…]:
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.
In my opinion, for modules it's important to have them available for all available versions of perl. But this does not make sense for a tool like ack. Why do I have to choose from these different versions? Why do I have to change my PATH to use this tool? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37595#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
