-This is a port of the Slackware Linux colorized `ls' program, which is, in
-turn, adapted from the `ls' program that comes with the GNU `fileutils'
-package. It is based on GNU fileutils version 3.12. The port installs
-four programs in `/usr/local/bin': `linuxls', `dir', `vdir' and
-`dircolors'. It also installs man pages for `linuxls' and `dircolors'.
-The programs are compatible with their counterparts in Slackware Linux
-releases.
+`gnuls' is a port of the GNU colorized `ls' program--the one most Linux
+users are familiar with. The port was formerly called `linuxls', since it
+had been adapted from the colorized Linux version of `ls' -- which, in
+turn, was a patched version of GNU's stock `ls' program. The folks at GNU
+have since rolled the colorization mods into their official version of
+`ls'; this port's name now reflects that change.
-Standard xterm prior to XFree86 3.1.2B doesn't know about colors, so
-you should use color_xterm or kterm (available from the ports
-collection) if you are using older versions of XFree86.
+The port installs five programs in `/usr/local/bin': `gnuls', `linuxls'
+(for backward compatibility), `dir', `vdir' and `dircolors'. It also
+installs man pages for `gnuls' (but *not* `linuxls') and `dircolors'.
NOTES:
-1. This port modifies the GNU `fileutils' make procedure (as originally
- patched for Linux) so that it installs only programs and man pages
- listed above.

-2. Unlike the Slackware Linux version, this port installs `ls' as `linuxls'
- so it won't conflict with the normal BSD `ls' program or the BSD
- `colorls' program (the latter available from the ports collection).

available from the ports collection.
