Bug 208743 – dosed does not document the behavior when only given filenames

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-03 13:36:27 UTC]

man ebuild(5)
<snip>
dosed "s:orig:change:g" <filename>
    Performs sed (including cp/mv filename) on filename.
    'dosed "s:/usr/local:/usr:g" /usr/bin/some-script' runs sed on {D}/usr/bin/some-script
</snip>

Well, it says totally nothing about `dosed /usr/bin/some-script` effectively doing sed -i "s:${D}::g" /usr/bin/some-script

Err,  
sed -i "s:${D}::g" ${D}/usr/bin/some-script of course

This is fixed in 2.1.4.2.
