Interesting. I could've sworn the OSX sed didn't have the "-i" option, and it isn't in the manpage, but I just tried it and low and behold it exists now. Even so, it makes me nervous to depend on Apple not to change the available sed options in order to keep a working portage. gsed really isn't all that much trouble, and you can unmerge it if you decide that the portage experiment didn't work out for you. - --Lina Pezzella Ebuild/Porting Co-Lead Gentoo for Mac OS X -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFCVWW+NJ9STR9DbYERAm3DAKDPSFfaY9DsRr9PTuvbP5nvT/J+YwCgjxUi jqVpH1cCZ91RwM/QBI6fLlw= =Zc2W -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
