Unfortunately, a sed which only follows the standard is a pain in the ass to work with because it supports so little, hence the decision that was made a while back to standardise on GNU sed 4. This isn't like find or tar or similar, where switching GNU syntax to POSIX is pretty trivial. There are a *lot* of extensions in GNU sed, and we use them. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Tue__29_Mar_2005_17_56_48_+0100_c7qghYapwVt3c1Z7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCSYjS96zL6DUtXhERAjI1AJ9CGLwEraKSxZDXcVoZbGVHjXHM5QCghUWv rAC2eDwg6/fnFRI1lWGOsk8= =HYM+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Tue__29_Mar_2005_17_56_48_+0100_c7qghYapwVt3c1Z7-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
