It is based on GNU fileutils version 3.12. The port installs +four programs in `/usr/local/bin': `linuxls', `dir', `vdir' and +`dircolors'. It also installs man pages for `linuxls' and `dircolors'. +The programs are compatible with their counterparts in Slackware Linux +releases. + +Standard xterm prior to XFree86 3.1.2B doesn't know about colors, so +you should use color_xterm or kterm (available from the ports +collection) if you are using older versions of XFree86. + +NOTES: + +1. This port modifies the GNU `fileutils' make procedure (as originally + patched for Linux) so that it installs only programs and man pages + listed above. + +2. Unlike the Slackware Linux version, this port installs `ls' as `linuxls' + so it won't conflict with the normal BSD `ls' program or the BSD + `colorls' program (the latter available from the ports collection). + +3. This colorized `ls' program is not the same as the `colorls' program + available from the ports collection. + +Brian Clapper <bmc@WillsCreek.COM> +07 January 1996 |
