I stumpled upon ack reading this blog-post http://blog.i-no.de//archives/2008/05/06/index.html . It mainly is "a tool like grep, aimed at programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code". As I could not find an ebuild in bugzilla, I created one. Note that it depends on File::Next, which has its own bug: #220639
Created attachment 152141 [details] ack-1.82.ebuild This ebuild is mainly generated using g-cpan and then modified a bit.
Created attachment 152155 [details] ack-1.82.ebuild repoman had problems with the header ;) - fixed this
