Oh come on, it's somewhat ironic to hear that from you Warner who apparently loves to deprecated things. :-) Seriously though, [ef]grep should go. Installing what should be one's shell aliases as first-class programs always seemed dubious to me. Admittedly, I welcome GNU grep guys' rather unpopular* decision to help the world clean up those scripts. > warning from gnu-grep is bananas... As any deprecation warning, it can be annoying, but how else would you nudge people to fix their scripts? ./danfe *) https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269840
