Bug 94681 – sys-apps/gawk-3.1.4-r4 breaks OpenSWAN-2.3.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christophe Saout 2005-05-31 14:53:44 UTC]

The newer gawk-3.1.4-r4 ebuild breaks OpenSWAN (the older gawk-3.1.4-r4 here
works fine).

In particular, OpenSWAN prints out tons of syntax errors and I tracked it down
to the following construct:

gentoo:/home/user > gawk '{ default[""] = ""; }'
gawk:   ^ syntax error

Older gawk ebuilds are fine and gawk doesn't complain.

Jay: Could you add the herd alias to metadata.xml, please? It does not match the
herd name.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-05-31 15:37:59 UTC]

it's because we enabled switch functionality in gawk recently ...

i imagine 'default' is a reserved label for use inside a switch statement

[Comment 3 Christophe Saout 2005-07-25 04:45:26 UTC]

The OpenSWAN 2.4.0 developer release has renamed the variables so as soon as the
final version is out it should work again.

I'm sticking with an older gawk ebuild for now.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-08-03 13:08:34 UTC]

ok, we'll throw this back at openswan dev then

Patch the ipsec files to work with gawk

This is not a proper patch for the "files" section of openswan, but it works
after the packages is built and installed.

Can you post the same patch for openswan-2.4.3? 
Thanks!

This one is for openswan-2.4.3

[Comment 15 Jay Pfeifer (RETIRED) 2005-11-27 23:52:40 UTC]

openswan-2.4.4 is now in portage and should be free from gawk this gawk issue.
