As the summary says, quickpkg uses some non-portable gawk which breaks on FreeBSD (ends up creating a broken tbz2 that can't be extracted). A simple s/awk/gawk/g fixes it, and shouldn't affect linux platforms where the two are the same anyway.
the awk looks pretty portable to me ... maybe BSD just sucks ;) 'portable awk' iirc is pretty basic ... no real features :P ... i think if we use 'gawk' everywhere we should be ok ?
Yeah, using gawk everywhere is fine as long as it explicitly calls gawk. We still need /usr/bin/awk to be fbsd awk since fbsd makefiles etc don't work with gawk. Apparently this affects macos as well, so CC-ing osx@.
fixed in head and stable
Fixed in 2.0.53_rc at least :)
