[Touch-packages] [Bug 69724] Re: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions
The bash completion bug was fixed. I'm inclined to say that if character classes are needed, gawk should be used. It looks like mawk has stalled, and the call to switch to Thomas Dickey's fork isn't mine to make. We are following debian on this one. ** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mawk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69724 Title: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions Status in mawk package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mawk package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mawk Mawk does not support Posix character classes, such as [:upper:] and [:lower:], in regular expressions.

Why are we still using the old 1.3.3 version, and not Thomas Dickey's 1.3.4 ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mawk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69724 Title: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions Status in mawk package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mawk package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mawk Mawk does not support Posix character classes, such as [:upper:] and [:lower:], in regular expressions.
