Created attachment 318172 [details, diff] patch for gawk-4.0.1.ebuild 1.) In the case that gawk is the only installed awk interpreter, it should select itself as the default one. (At this point, nothing will change as gawk is pulled in by the system set.) 2.) move gawk binary back to /usr/bin as baselayout-2 does not depend on awk being in /bin anymore. (@openrc: please comment if needed) 3.) this patch is more a RFC as we still need to wait for the keywords from bug #419559.
Comment on attachment 318172 [details, diff] patch for gawk-4.0.1.ebuild not interested in moving gawk at this time out of /bin
Created attachment 318270 [details, diff] patch for gawk-4.0.1.ebuild (In reply to comment #1) > not interested in moving gawk at this time out of /bin Ok, let's wait with the /usr/bin move. What about the rest of the patch?
have it check for eselect existing first: type eselect >&/dev/null && eselect awk update ifunset gawk really shouldn't be requiring eselect, but we don't have the DEPEND system to support this yet
(In reply to comment #3) > gawk really shouldn't be requiring eselect, but we don't have the DEPEND > system to support this yet That make sense. How about a build-in replacement for eselect-awk: pkg_postinst() { #symlink creation here as the links do not belong to gawk, but to any awk if has_version eselect && has_version eselect-awk ; then eselect awk update ifunset else for l in /bin/awk /usr/bin/awk /usr/share/man/man1/awk.1 ; do [[ ! -e ${EROOT}$l ]] && dosym ${l##*/} $l done fi } pkg_postrm() { has_version eselect && has_version eselect-awk && eselect awk update ifunset }

(@openrc: please comment if needed) OpenRC does not use awk, so from our pov there is no reason for it to be on /; it should be moved to /usr. (In reply to comment #1) > not interested in moving gawk at this time out of /bin Why? does something else use it in early boot?
(In reply to comment #6) the has_version checks should include a CATEGORY in the packages (In reply to comment #7) baselayout-1 used it for the longest time, and awk scripts can be specified in shebangs (#!/bin/awk), and i see no need to change right now. nothing needs it.

Could be done with a symlink as well ln -s ../usr/bin/gawk ${EROOT}bin/awk The advantage would be that we can get rid of the whole "if use userland_GNU" block. The only thing, which would go missing is /bin/gawk, /bin/awk is still there and gets created by eselect-awk as well.
(In reply to comment #9) ok, add this with gawk-4.0.1-r1 and let's see what blows up

Re-added keywords, let's sse what blows up.
