And as there's no current way to fix the invokation of sed from within xargs |
| 7 |
or find, I'm not going to ask to change _all_ the calls of sed, but just the |
| 8 |
ones done through those two or other scripts and things that won't honour |
| 9 |
aliases in bashrc. |

I have to remember you that the discussions in the past often asked us to redo |
| 12 |
things after a while. Being more strict and safe on the environment (wrt to |
| 13 |
find and xargs) is IMHO helping; there are already things that are more or |
| 14 |
less encapsulated and would be simple to get around (think of patch/gpatch |
| 15 |
that's encapsulated to epatch) if we really need to. But find, xargs and in |
| 16 |
general subshells not honouring bashrc are the main big problem. |

Other suggestions are of course welcome, if you have something constructive to |
| 19 |
say about that. |
