You mean, after a 15 years period of deprecation, they started to warn about it, but Fedora/RHAT-maintainers have missed to reflect this change to Fedora's packages. My advice: BZ each of them, you encounter, so these package maintainers won't any longer have an excuse for their packages' out-datedness.

grub2-mkconfig Strange Message
Hi, I have just used dnf to put on the currently available maintenance in F38, having not put any on for a week or so, after upgrading from F37 via dnf system-upgrade a couple of weeks ago. After putting on the maintenance I used grub2-mkconfig to build the grub.cfg file and got the message below after it notified of finding the linux kernels, does anyone know what this means and why they are being produced from the released version of grub2-mkconfig, the process I ran after the maintenance I put on a week or so ago did not produce these messages? fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F regards, Steve OpenPGP_0x594338B1DE179AB2.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
