./textproc/the_silver_searcher, Attempt to improve on ack, which itself is better than grep

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.2.0, Package name: the_silver_searcher-2.2.0, Maintainer: leot

Why use ag?

* It searches through code about 3x-5x faster than ack.
* It ignores files matched by patterns in your .gitignore and .hgignore.
* If there are files in your source repo that you don't want to
search, just add their patterns to a .agignore file.
* It's written in C instead of perl, the lesser of two evils :)
* The binary name is 33% shorter than ack!

Update textproc/the_silver_searcher to 2.0.0

Changes:
2.0.0
-----
- Remove support for `.agignore' file, please use `.ignore' instead
- Add --print-all-files option.
  This option causes ag to print headings for all files that it
  searches, not just those that contain matches. This will be useful
  in the case where ag is being called by another program that needs
  to show the user a progress indicator of how many paths have been
  searched.
- Add Haxe support
- Add support for jsp tag and fragment files
