Re: Fedora 31 System-Wide Change proposal: gawk 5.0.1
Yes, the patches dealing with this would be used in Fedora.

The build dependency list is almost certainly incomplete. gawk is always
installed in the buildroot, so many packages don't declare it as a
build dependency. I know I don't do that in my packages.
One would need to check for (g)awk usage in every build.log.

Fedora 31 System-Wide Change proposal: gawk 5.0.1

== Summary ==
New upstream major version of gawk has been released (4.2.1 -> 5.0.X).
Among many changes, the version 5 introduced a namespaces, which may
possible break some of the existing scripts.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:jamartis| Jakub Martisko]]
* Email: jamar...@redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
The new version of gawk has been released. The new version fixes a
number of bugs, some of which were quite significant. Other notable
changes include:
* The regex routines have been replaced with those from GNULIB
* Comment handling in the pretty-printer has been reworked almost
completely from scratch. As a result, comments in many corner cases
that were previously lost are now included in the formatted output.
* Namespaces have been added.
* Gawk now uses the locale settings for ignoring case in single byte
locales, instead of hardwiring in Latin-1.
The introduction of namespaces may break some scripts written for
gawk 4.2.1 due to different variable names. (This is considered to
be a bug by the upstream and there is a patch fixing this)
== Benefit to Fedora ==
See above, the main benefit are several bug fixes.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: Update the source archive of the gawk, drop no
longer needed patches.
* Other developers: Some modifications to existing gawk scripts may be
needed. Especially those, using the inplace gawk extension, where
some of the variables have been renamed. (This is considered to be
a bug by the upstream and there is a patch fixing this)
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8489 #8489]
* Policies and guidelines: N/A
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
