Vincent,
As the original porter of the gawk and gsed ports, I remember having a lengthy exchange about naming these two ports.
Regarding gawk:
By default GNU awk is installed as gawk, with awk linking to it:
Saturn:/usr/local/bin marius$ ls -l *awk lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Feb 21 2006 awk -> gawk -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 803996 Feb 21 2006 gawk -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3089 Feb 21 2006 igawk -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 806200 Feb 21 2006 pgawk
(Yes, this is not a MacPorts installation...)
Well, the default behavior is OK: The main point is that there is a version of the executable without the prefix. And I don't think that MacPorts should remove it. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
