Bugs item #311393, was opened at 30/01/2009 09:49 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: DBTS 501479: don't assume sed being GNU sed on Linux systems Distribution: None Originally reported in: Debian BTS Original bug number: 501479
Initial Comment: * bash-completion assumes that a uname of Linux implies that the "sed" command refers to GNU sed, while on other systems it aliases sed to "gsed" if present. While not possible on Debian, someone could easily make a Linux system with GNU sed installed as "gsed" and some other standards-compliant sed installed as "sed". Why bother having the check for Linux at all? Just always use "gsed" if present. Incidentally, bash-completion also leaves the alias sed=gsed in place if added, which seems like a surprising side-effect to occur due to sourcing bash-completion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=311393&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
