No default names for gnu-sed

[PaulRBerg]

It seems that gnu-sed doesn't have the --with-default-names parameter anymore.

Environment

• osx mojave 10.14.2
• homebrew 2.0.5

I’ve got a fix for this in my fork; lemme get a PR opened to handle this & #870, amongst other things that have changed in Homebrew recently.

For reference, Homebrew removed all options from Homebrew/homebrew-core formulae.

Can we use something like this ?

$ brew install gnu-sed
$ export PATH=$PATH:~$(brew --prefix gnu-sed)/libexec/gnubin
$ echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$(brew --prefix gnu-sed)/libexec/gnubin' >> ~/.zshrc

[jeffbyrnes]

@pnodet one could! However, I’d like to stay away from messing with folks’ $PATH, that’s a pretty personal thing.

[pnodet]

Okay no worries, just thought it might be easier to make it default. (because... laziness you know)

[jeffbyrnes]

I mean, for sure, I hear you! While it would replicate the existing functionality, I think it would be surprising to folks, and I tend to follow the principle of least surprise 😃
