Erm. No. Supporting -i is a requirement for any sed that is used by ebuilds. If your native sed doesn't do it, you must provide a sed alias to, say, GNU sed when in an ebuild environment. We already went over that with the osx thing. Switching is infeasible. Historically, any ebuild using sed -i would have a hard DEPEND upon GNU sed-4. These were removed when GNU sed-4 became part of the profiles, but as they're system deps you should consider GNU sed 4 a requirement for your arch. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
