Re: CFT: new BSD-licensed sort available
Why to symlink, this is 1/ because it concerns user/admin configuration, I get that, but why is a conf file not the right answer? We could even put the conf file in /etc if we decide that this is a feature that should be in the base. Having 2 symlinks just seems like overkill. IMO nether symlinks nor conf file-base indirection are appropriate for FreeBSD sort. It might be cool to program such an app, as it was to write /etc/mailer.conf, but many of us do not want to maintain another layer of abstraction. If you want to do this at least put it in ports and give the installer an to either OVERWRITE_BASE or install to /usr/local/bin. I value KISS an the advantage BSD distributions have over most Linux distributions in this regard. Different paths to different applications are the most maintainable solution to non-backwards compatible updates using the same file name. Better yet, make them fully backwards compatible and update the distribution.

RE: CFT: new BSD-licensed sort available
I guess that using a not-backward-compatible syntax would make it difficult for some users to accept. We are going to have a newer 1.7 build soon that supports older pre-POSIX syntax (among other improvements). It is guarded by #ifdef. If Gabor decides to eliminate this backward compatibility, he can easily remove -D option from the Makefile.

'sort' would then be a symlink to said magic program, that'd look at its argv[0], look at the contents of that file, and exec() the right one. I prefer simplicity. And GNU sort should go as soon as BSD sort is good enough to replace it. If you check the wiki, we have set a goal for 10.X, which is the GPL-free base system. I think it is possible and I hope we can achieve it.
