GNU grep
|
||||
|
||||
Original source distribution can be found at:
|
||||
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/grep/
|
||||
|
||||
Due to an unfortunate number of bugs and performance problems in
|
||||
GNU grep 2.5.1, various patches from The Fedora Project have been applied.
|
||||
These patches can be extracted from the SRPM package available at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/
|
||||
3.92/SRPMS/grep-2.5.1-48.src.rpm
|
||||
|
||||
The following patches have been applied:
|
||||
|
||||
grep-2.5-i18n.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-bracket.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-color.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-dfa-optional.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-egf-speedup.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-fgrep.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-icolor.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-oi.patch
|
||||
grep-2.5.1-w.patch
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to these, some FreeBSD-specific changes have been made
|
||||
to add bzip2 support, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the large number of patches applied, conflicts are likely with
|
||||
future releases. However, most of the patches are either (a) small bug
|
||||
fixes that have been fed upstream, or (b) performance improvements that
|
||||
could be reverted without loss of functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
It is suggested that those planning to import a newer release of GNU grep
|
||||
should revert all local changes since the 2.5.1 import before proceeding
|
||||
with the newer import.
