Package: emacs24-common
Version: 24.5+1-1
Severity: normal

With the current grep 2.21-2 the GREP_OPTIONS variable is now
deprecated.  Using it now triggers a warning message.  The grep man
page says this:

       GREP_OPTIONS
              This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of
              any  explicit  options.   As  this  causes problems when writing
              portable scripts, this feature  will  be  removed  in  a  future
              release  of  grep,  and grep warns if it is used.  Please use an
              alias or script instead.

Using grep-find in emacs, for example, now reports:

  grep: warning: GREP_OPTIONS is deprecated; please use an alias or script

This results from the code using it in lisp/progmodes/grep.el using
GREP_OPTIONS:

    (setenv "GREP_OPTIONS"
            (concat (getenv "GREP_OPTIONS")
                    " --color=" (if (eq grep-highlight-matches 'always)
                                    "always" "auto")))

Thank you for maintaining emacs in Debian!

Bob
