ack 2.0

ack 2.0 is a text searching utility optimized for searching trees of source code.

Building

ack requires Perl 5.8.8 or higher. Perl 5.8.8 was released January 2006.

# Required
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install # for a system-wide installation (recommended)
# - or -
make ack-standalone
cp ack-standalone ~/bin/ack2 # for a personal installation

Development

Development is not done on master. We use a dev branch named dev, and from there topic branches named for a specific topic.

master -> dev -> docs
             \-> speedups
             \-> issue473

The only time we merge dev down to master is when doing a release. There are no branches off of master other than dev.
