Christopher Bonhage created COUCHDB-1628:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: THANKS generation uses a non-portable sed extended regexp
flag
Key: COUCHDB-1628
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1628
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build System
Reporter: Christopher Bonhage
The bootstrap script currently generates a THANKS file by grepping through the
git shortlog and running an extended regular expression command on the
resulting stream using sed (line 48):
git shortlog -se 6c976bd..HEAD \
| grep -v @apache.org \
| sed -E "s/^[[:blank:]]{5}[[:digit:]]+[[:blank:]]/ * /" >> THANKS
BSD sed uses the '-E' option to interpret regular expressions as extended
(modern) regular expressions rather than basic regular expressions (BRE's). GNU
sed uses the '-r' option for this behavior.
The bootstrap script should be modified to detect the proper flag to use. I am
currently using a patch which checks the system's uname to determine the flag.
