Description Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-05 20:18:43 UTC
Can you please have a look if virtual/awk is sufficient or if gawk is needed.
Comment 1 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-06 03:52:14 UTC
gawk is really needed.

+  06 Feb 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org>
+  -yelp-xsl-3.2.1.ebuild, yelp-xsl-3.4.2.ebuild, yelp-xsl-3.6.1.ebuild,
+  +files/yelp-xsl-3.6.1-gawk.patch:
+  Ensure gawk, not virtual/awk is used; nawk fails on build scripts with syntax
+  errors (bug #455730, thanks to Christoph Junghans). Drop old.
Comment 2 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-06 05:11:32 UTC
On further testing, it appears that yelp-xsl works with all virtual/awk implementations except for nawk, which is completely broken (bug #455786).

However, we cannot switch to virtual/awk until it's keyworded on amd64-fbsd.

+  06 Feb 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org>
+  yelp-xsl-3.4.2.ebuild, yelp-xsl-3.6.1.ebuild,
+  -files/yelp-xsl-3.6.1-gawk.patch:
+  Undo previous commit: yelp-xsl works with all virtual/awk implementations
+  except for nawk, which is buggy (see bug #455786). However, the 3.6.1 ebuild
+  cannot switch to virtual/awk until it's keyworded on amd64-fbsd.
Comment 3 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-06 05:49:01 UTC
+  06 Feb 2013; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org>
+  yelp-xsl-3.6.1.ebuild:
+  Switch to virtual/awk since it has been keyworded.
