Do you agree? strftime() in awk is a GNU-ism. It doesn't exist in awk on Mac OS X or FreeBSD, or even the default awk on Linux (which is mawk on Linux installations I've checked). Most portable likely would be Perl, however, that's probably too heavyweight inside a loop like this, even if called only once each N iterations. > On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 3:20 AM, Eric Sunshine wrote: >> On Sat, Aug 29, 2015 at 9:29 AM, Gabor Bernat wrote: >>> Amended, the latest version is at https://github.com/gaborbernat/git/commit/ :) >>> Does this looks okay, should I create a patch from this? >> >> Excerpt: >> >> now=$(date +%s) >> elapsed=$(($now - $start)) >> remaining_second=$((...)) >> eta=$(($now + $remaining_second)) >> finish_by=$(date -d "@$eta") >> >> Unfortunately, -d is not portable.
