This comment refers to the February 4, 2007 version of the document referenced by the URL. Just being puzzled, the command emerge --oneshot "=sys-apps/sed-4.1.4*" refers to a specific version of sed. Is this critical, or would it work just as well to do emerge --oneshot sys-apps/sed I am trying out the bootstrap process, not specifying a particular version of sed, which means I am getting 4.1.5. This has worked for me up to and including "emerge --oneshot --nodeps gcc-config". My humble suggestion then: Remove the "4.1.4*" specification, or add a comment explaining why a specific version is required. Reproducible: Always
indeed, it's not necessary. It's a leftover from when 4.1.5 contained code that didn't allow it to be bootstrapped without another GNU sed, and we didn't bootstrap sed yet.
Thanks for the report!
