Hi there,

Your point is well taken. When I first created the Portfile, we had an online discussion about this very issue. The, then DarwinPorts, powers that be chose the gnu prefix, rather than the g prefix as in gawk (OK this is not quite fair since GNU awk is always called gawk). Off hand, I don't know how many other ports depend on GNU sed, so changing then name at this point may not be a good idea.

On my machines I use GNU sed as sed...

Hello

Something has been bothering me for a moment:
For consistency's sake, wouldn't be better to set --program-prefix=g in gnused?
That's the program-prefix we can see in other GNU ports, e.g. {core,diff,find}utils.

Anyway, i've made some modifications to this port (mainly concerning nls support)
and i will file a ticket about it soon.
