https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=258616 Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |emaste@freebsd.org --- Comment #4 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- (As expected) testcase works correctly on FreeBSD 13+ with BSD grep. It should be available on FreeBSD 12 as /usr/bin/bsdgrep and you could use that in a script, or install it as /usr/bin/grep if that's feasible for you. I will see about making sure all of the build infrastructure to support WITH_BSD_GREP is available in 12.x. It's a bit of an unfortunate situation to fix GNU grep in the tree for 12.x though; GNU grep in the base system is not expected to receive an update, and GNU grep is GPLv3+. Assuming the change you identified would apply to the older grep version we have (without needing significant extra work) we could see if it is possible to obtain that change licensed as GPLv2+. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
