Re: Does grep need a version?

you're missing at least the removal of the flag in the standards section of the man page. I agree with deraadt though, this needs a check of ports. > On Dec 8, 2015, at 12:06 AM, Michael McConville wrote: > > It's been 0.9 since the original import in 2003... > > > Index:

Keep the version, whatever it is. The "check of ports" is annoying, because some of these checks may be in scripts and happen at runtime for ports. The way it usually happens is: something breaks -> porters don't have time to check too closely -> someone moves the ports to using gnu grep
