[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#529510: checks for GNUish userland fail on GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/kOpenSolaris, etc

[Robert Millan]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The checks for GNUish userland are made unportably by using a hardcoded
list of uname values.  It should use GNU/* and match other systems like
GNU/kFreeBSD or GNU/kOpenSolaris.

Also, the check for sed relies on comparing uname with "Linux" but it's
actually a userland issue.

Patch attached.
