            Bug ID: 269840
           Summary: textproc/gnugrep: Could we please have an option to
                    not install the wrapper scripts?
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: danfe@FreeBSD.org

It's my position that the user shouldn't be subjected to this:

    pylon 55 # fgrep 3c:ec:ef:fc:9f:f2 /usr/local/arpwatch/arp_mvneta0.4091=
.dat
    fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using /usr/local/bin/ggrep -F
    3c:ec:ef:fc:9f:f2       172.16.1.2      1677436308      ice
    3c:ec:ef:fc:9f:f2       172.16.1.15     1677297786      ice2

Simply because /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin in their path.

Could we please have an option to control this? What I'd prefer is an optio=
n to
only install ggrep. And/or an option to remove the unhelpful warnings (defa=
ult
on).

I'm happy to generate a patch based on maintainer feedback.
