Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Looking at fedora:
no testcases for -fgrep (and it doesn't apply),
no testcase for -oi (some of this is present, some maybe not),
-manpage is present,
-color doesn't apply,
-bracket is present in a slightly different form,
-skip is present,
-w is not needed [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=179698],
-P needs pcre to be compiled in,
-empty-pattern [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=204255] is
already fixed in 2.5.3 but present in 2.5.1a
busy-loop problem (unsure which patch fixes it)
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=169524] already fixed in
2.5.3 but present in 2.5.1a,
grep -Fw problem in non UTF-8
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=189580] - cannot reproduce
this.
-mem-exhausted [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198165] :
didn't look to see if this applies, the problem is caused by large files
containing no line-feed, with a test case that begins "create a sparse
file 100G in size" - I don't see any reason to care, at least until
somebody complains that grep has used up all their memory.
That only leaves the -tests patch which adds fmbtest.sh. Interestingly,
it's different from upstream's version (it has test 5, which upstream
omits, and slightly different looping. With 2.5.3, using this produces
more failures in the test than the shipped version.
I still need to test combinations of debian and mandriva patches to see
how few of them we can get away with, and to re-review the fix-tests
patch.
