As-is, this isn't suitable for upstream, most OS have GNU grep in /usr/bin/grep. If you want to send them something, I think the best approach would be to allow paths for grep/diff to be passed in to configure, and have it test that they work as expected i.e. that the GNU REs and diff options are supported, and bail out with a good error message - I prefer this over automatically searching for gdiff/ggrep (because then it's clear that a dependency is required). > I changed the DESC file to copy the paragraph from their website (inserted > INRIA, their lab where it wasn't clear who 'us' refers to)... ah yes I'd forgotten about that bit, thanks, have tweaked this ;-) > Attaching the complete port for testing. btw, I think I speak for all porters when I say we strongly prefer tars that extract into a subdirectory rather than overwriting files in the current directory.
