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.
