[20:27] <jarnos> Why does mythbuntu use mawk instead of gawk?
[20:28] <tgm4883> jarnos: I didn't realize we specified one over the other
[20:31] <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, ^
[20:32] <tgm4883> jarnos: I would assume we just pull in what what ubuntu and/or xubuntu uses
[20:40] <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.
[20:41] <tgm4883> jarnos: we pull a lot of default stuff from some lower level xubuntu packages
[20:42] <jarnos> tgm4883, I wonder, why it is used, as it is very old version of mawk and has known bugs.
[20:43] <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?
[20:49] <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.
