Public bug reported:
When running tools/tox-venv py3 on FreeBSD, I get the following Error:
sed: 2: ":x; /\\$/ { N; s/\\\n[ ...": unused label 'x; /\\$/ { N;
s/\\\n[ ]*//; tx };'
This suggests to me, that the expression
sed -e ':x; /\\$/ { N; s/\\\n[ ]*//; tx };' "${tox_ini}" |
is not POSIX compatible.
Looking at GNU sed's documentation, I see the first issue with making
this expression POSIX compliant will be that `N` behaves intentionally
different on GNU sed than on POSIX:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html
#Reporting-Bugs
So the solution here might be simply to require GNU sed, and put it's
path/name into an environment variable that can be overriden from the
outside.
