The Fedora CVS is a pristine GNU grep release plus patches. The GNU CVS is a full tree, tagged at release. GNU grep is the real grep, but it so happens that I'd made a few patches for it for the Fedora package. > I'm now getting a little confused as to whether I'm talking to Fedora > development or Grep development. [email protected] is the GNU grep development list. Bugzilla is Fedora, and I mostly concern myself with Fedora packaging of grep rather than grep hacking per se, although of course I hope that my patches (or at least, equivalent patches to fix the original bugs) are incorporated into GNU grep CVS. > The Changelog at savannah.gnu.org indicates that my original fix > (reported as fixed in Fedora) has gone into the GNU code.

Upgrading the Fedora package to the next grep release might be a bit time-consuming due to having different fixes for the same problem, that's all. My problem, not yours. :-) Tim. */
