I know, but this is, imho, an ugly workaround :) |

As sed is quite standard, a good solution could be having portage use sed in |
| 5 |
the standard way, so that the alias is not needed anymore. |

It's a long shot, but when all the calls of sed will be standard, we could |
| 7 |
drop dependence on gsed and use it as a virtual package.. this will drop a |
| 8 |
package both on *bsd and osx. |

As nothing could be considered a regression in moving sed to standard |
| 11 |
(argument disposition is just a little change, also other changes needed, for |
| 12 |
example grouping similar regexp in a single script, are just minimal |
| 13 |
changes), all the gsed functions used by portage are available on normal sed, |
| 14 |
and normal sed syntax is understood by gsed, having not to depend on gnu sed |
| 15 |
is something useful, from my point of view. |
