--- Begin Message ---Package: glark Severity: minor Version: 1.8.0-1 Dear Maintainer, glark's glark's long description makes claims about GNU grep which are no more true: | In addition to many features of GNU grep, glark offers Perl compatible | regular expressions, highlighting of matches, complex expressions, and | automatic exclusion of non-text files. >From grep's man page: -P, --perl-regexp Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression (PCRE, see below). This is highly experimental and grep -P may warn of unimplemented features. --color[=WHEN], --colour[=WHEN] Surround the matched (non-empty) strings, matching lines, context lines, file names, line numbers, byte offsets, and separators (for fields and groups of context lines) with escape sequences to display them in color on the terminal. The colors are defined by the environment variable GREP_COLORS. The deprecated environment variable GREP_COLOR is still supported, but its setting does not have priority. WHEN is never, always, or auto. -I Process a binary file as if it did not contain matching data; this is equivalent to the --binary-files=without-match option. I suspect that glark had this features before they were added to GNU grep. But nevertheless the second paragraph in the long description is no more true and should be corrected or removed. The man page also lists also these features, but doesn't claim that GNU grep lacks them. (But depending on how you read the text in the man page, it may suggest that.) So maybe the long description can be written similar to the text in the man page. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
