We already import almost all patches from unofficial source The Fedora Project (at the moment of the last touch by tjr@), see explanations at /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/grep/FREEBSD-upgrade why released version of grep is so bad. Exactly, we have 2.5.1 + unofficial patches while the latest official version is 2.5.1a. We may continue trying to match Fedora or GNU CVS but need to decide which source is best today (and need to formally update to 2.5.1a first although 2.5.1 vs 2.5.1a changes are cosmetical). -- http://ache.pp.ru/ [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGE2nmVg5YK5ZEdN0RAlczAKCdXZNyRaSbj2WeQG2Zsm9UuyIZFwCfZSYb TcCVkqWFPNVQ1LTvZkh9fqs= =m+iH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
