You forgot 3.
3. rewrite scripts so that they would require only POSIX;
for ones that do need GNU extended coreutils to do in
shell, find other ways, perhaps rewriting the stuff in C.
Yes, thats right, but this can only be a long term goal, because I guess
this will take significantly longer. - even "tr" and "diff" behave different
on Solaris.
I am not looking forward to do the g- prefix in the main
Makefile. The approach to have symlink forest under gitexecdir
(<Pine.LNX.4.64.0605162047380.10823@xxxxxxxxxxx> by Linus) is
more palatable, and I am not opposed to host a script to do so
under contrib/notgnu perhaps.
Hm, gitexecdir is also the path where git is installed, right? So if I'd
install git with pkgsrc it will be /usr/pkg/bin, right? - If so,
putting symlinks
there _will_ break pkgsrc.
bye
Stefan
