https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D195929 Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|Open |In Progress --- Comment #35 from Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Mikhail Teterin from comment #34) >> The patch still required some changes for 12-current and there >> are sufficient differences it may not be fun to merge to 10-stable. > Why are there such differences between branches? Sed is a purely > user-space program and depends neither on anything unusual in the > kernel, nor on any libraries, that may only be present in newer > releases. There are changes affecting backwards compatibility. Anything that means you may have to rewrite you scripts during a minor upgrade is not good. Other committers take decisions about their own changes: in my case, r297602 which is really minor is something that I am not considering to MFC. > > Detected by running the gsed tests. > Maybe, the triggered test should be added to our suit? Yes but consider, within reason, there would be no license issues (IANAL). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
