Whereas switching the default back to GNU grep *guarantees* neither unsophisticated nor sophosticated user will test BSD grep. It seems that you are letting a poor design decision with respect to portmaster impair others contribution to FreeBSD. I suspect that you could have added a USE_GREP knob to the port infrastructure and updated your port to use ports/textproc/gnugrep in the time that you have used to post and reply here. -- Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
