Package: gawk Version: 1:5.2.1-2 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: bugs.debian....@wongs.net
Dear Maintainer, Please upgrade this package to version 5.3. As of 2023, GNU's gawk has support for the Comma Separated Values format by use of the `-k` switch. This is a major improvement for people who must deal with such files. Upgrading to version 5.3 will also ensure that gawk is compatible with Brian Kernighan's awk, which added CSV support previously. Thank you. —Ben -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gawk depends on: ii libc6 2.37-13 ii libgmp10 2:6.3.0+dfsg-2 ii libmpfr6 4.2.1-1 ii libreadline8 8.2-3 ii libsigsegv2 2.14-1 gawk recommends no packages.
