Findutils: add variant to install non-gnu named binaries

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Hello,

I install the findutils port just so I can type 'find -name something' from the command line and not have to type that annoying '.' that Apple's find requires.

Could the findutils port grow a variant that will install symlinks from

/opt/local/bin/gnufind -> find /opt/local/bin/gnulocate -> locate /opt/local/bin/gnuupdatedb -> updatedb /opt/local/bin/gnuxargs -> xargs

Thanks, Blair

There also is "sfind" which provides a find utility - we can't symlink both to 'find' (this would create a conflict), so instead I'd suggest you create an alias for find in your ~/.bashrc:

alias find=/opt/local/bin/gnufind ..
