| jarnos | Why does mythbuntu use mawk instead of gawk? | 20:27 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | jarnos: I didn't realize we specified one over the other | 20:28 |
| jarnos | command "update-alternatives --display awk" shows which is used, when awk is called. http://distrowatch.gdsw.at/table.php?distribution=mythbuntu&pkglist=true&version=14.04 shows mawk is installed by default, but gawk is not. | 20:31 |
| jarnos | tgm4883, ^ | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | jarnos: I would assume we just pull in what what ubuntu and/or xubuntu uses | 20:32 |
| jarnos | tgm4883, oh, indeed xubuntu 14.04 does not have gawk either; later versions of xubuntu have both mawk and gawk, but I don't know which is default. | 20:40 |
| tgm4883 | jarnos: we pull a lot of default stuff from some lower level xubuntu packages | 20:41 |
| jarnos | tgm4883, I wonder, why it is used, as it is very old version of mawk and has known bugs. | 20:42 |
| tgm4883 | jarnos: IDK, we could look at specifying gawk instead. I'd ping them over i #xubuntu and ask about it | 20:43 |
| tgm4883 | jarnos: ubuntu defaults to gawk? | 20:43 |
| jarnos | tgm4883, I don't know, I am using Ubuntu Studio in another PC, and it has both gawk and mawk installed by default like Ubuntu. Ubuntu Studio is using gawk currently, IIRC it is default. | 20:49 |
