NEW: nl-1.8

[mjhsieh@…]

nl is a useful tool for users. You can directly compile using FreeBSD source file without modification and any error or warning. It's very easy to do so. see  http://www.freebsD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/nl/

From the FreeBSD man page :

The nl utility reads lines from the named file or the standard input if the file argument is ommitted, applies a configurable line numbering fil­ ter operation and writes the result to the standard output.

The nl utility treats the text it reads in terms of logical pages. Unless specified otherwise, line numbering is reset at the start of each logical page. A logical page consists of a header, a body and a footer section; empty sections are valid. Different line numbering options are independently available for header, body and footer sections.

we could possibly distribute this via darwinports.... -fkr

nl is a part of POSIX1 standard, I guess darwin need that anyway.  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/nl.html

New Portfile

[mjhsieh@…]

nl-1.8

the portfile can be found here: ATTACHED

Description: This is the Portfile for textproc/nl , please review it and see if we can have it in the dports. The nl utility, a line numbering filter, conforms to POSIX.1 standard. The nl utility reads lines from the named file or the standard input if the file argument is ommitted, applies a configurable line numbering filter operation and writes the result to the standard output. This is from FreeBSD's source tree. I only modified the Makefile.
