2007/5/8, David Liontooth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Are there disadvantages to installing coreutils -- does it or could it interefere with other programs? I'm a bit queasy, but I guess as long as /opt/local/bin is last in the path it won't interfere.
In fact, if I understand correctly the portfile, the coreutils port install all GNU utilties with a 'g' prefix ( ls is installed as /opt/local/bin/gls , and so on) . So there shouldn't be a conflict with the native utilities. There's a variant 'with_default_names' that also create links between the g-name and the native name (it creates a link from /opt/local/bin/ls to /opt/local/bin/gls).
