Ports that depend on "grep"





Port notes

This port previously installed itself without a g* prefix, thus overshadowing system binaries such as grep, fgrep, and egrep. The port is now changed so that it does install with a g* prefix, like other GNU ports. This means that you'll now find GNU grep at ${prefix}/bin/ggrep. If you dislike typing ggrep, you can create a shell alias or you can add ${prefix}/libexec/gnubin to your PATH, wherein non-g* prefixed symlinks are installed. In other words, ${prefix}/libexec/gnubin contains GNU binaries without any prefix to the file names, so you can type grep and get GNU grep just as before.
