Bug#367201: bacula: Please remove build-dep on ssed
Package: bacula Severity: wishlist I don't like to have to install unneeded packages on my system. To build the Bacula Debian packages, ssed is used, but I don't quite understand why not use GNU sed instead. ssed is only used in debian/rules, where regular sed is used also. Moreover, the ssed calls could be replaced without any problems by sed, as they don't use any special feature. So please, replace the 2 ssed calls by sed calls and remove the build-dep on it.

According to its documentation, it does now. I will test, and if it works, I will make this change. If it does not work, I will not make the change, since the logic in the rules file is much simpler with in-place editing as opposed to having to write a for loop with output to temporary files.

Theorically, you should probably put a versioned dependency on sed (which is essential, BTW) to insure a version recent enough to support it (Sarge's one is yet, so I guess this is not really needed). If it's not in the doc, it probably deserves a bugreport. If it does not work, I will not make the change, since the logic in the rules file is much simpler with in-place editing as opposed to having to write a for loop with output to temporary files. It will work, I use it (-i) really often, for a long time. Thanks, -- John -- Jérôme Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net
