Changelog for grep-debugsource-3.11-4.8.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed Aug 16 2023 dimstarAATTopensuse.org- export CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh before running configure: results in the shell script (egrep/fgrep) to receive a /bin/sh shebang instead of requiring bash (the local shell used to build).
* Thu May 18 2023 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 3.11:
* With -P, patterns like [\\d] now work again. Fixing this has caused grep to revert to the behavior of grep 3.8, in that patterns like \\w and ^H go back to using ASCII rather than Unicode interpretations. However, future versions of GNU grep and/or PCRE2 are likely to fix this and change the behavior of \\w and ^H back to Unicode again, without breaking [\\d] as 3.10 did.
* Thu Mar 30 2023 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 3.10:
* With -P, \\d now matches only ASCII digits, regardless of PCRE options/modes. The changes in grep-3.9 to make ^H and \\w work properly had the undesirable side effect of making \\d also match e.g., the Arabic digits: ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩. With grep-3.9, -P \'\\d+\' would match that ten-digit (20-byte) string. Now, to match such a digit, you would use \\p{Nd}. Similarly, \\D is now mapped to [^0-9].
* Mon Mar 06 2023 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to grep 3.9
* With -P, some non-ASCII UTF8 characters were not recognized as word-constituent due to our omission of the PCRE2_UCP flag.
* When given multiple patterns the last of which has a back-reference, grep no longer sometimes mistakenly matches lines in some cases
* Tue Dec 27 2022 lnusselAATTsuse.com- Replace transitional %usrmerged macro with regular version check (boo#1206798)
* Tue Sep 20 2022 schwabAATTsuse.de- efgrep-warning.patch: remove warning from [ef]grep

* Mon Nov 09 2020 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to grep 3.6
* The GREP_OPTIONS environment variable no longer affects grep\'s behavior.
* grep\'s DFA matcher performed an invalid regex transformation that would convert an ERE like a+a+a+ to a+a+, which would make grep a+a+a+ mistakenly match \"aa\".
* grep -P now reports the troublesome input filename upon PCRE execution failure.- werror-return-type.patch: work around gcc bug
* Fri Oct 30 2020 lnusselAATTsuse.de- prepare usrmerge (boo#1029961)

* Mon Jan 07 2019 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to grep 3.3
*
* Changes in behavior
* The --files-without-match (-L) option now causes grep to succeed when a file is listed, instead of when a line is selected.
*
* Improvements

* Mon Jul 03 2017 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to grep 3.1
* grep \'[0-9]\' is now just as fast as grep \'[[:digit:]]\' when run in a multi-byte locale
* Context no longer excludes selected lines omitted because of -m
* Thu Jun 01 2017 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Use https url\'s- Drop no longer needed explicit pie- Enable profiled build
* Sat Feb 11 2017 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Update to version 3.0:
* grep without -F no longer goes awry when given two or more patterns that contain no special characters other than \'\\\' and also contain a subpattern like \'\\.\' that escapes a character to make it ordinary.
* grep no longer fails to build on PCRE versions before 8.20.- Cleanup spec file:
* Drop support for old distributions
* Create lang subpackage
* Use fdupes to replace duplicate files with symlinks
* Wed Feb 08 2017 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Update to version 2.28:
* Improve performance for -E or -G pattern lists that are easily converted to -F format.
* Fix performance regression with multiple patterns.
* When standard output is /dev/null, grep no longer fails when standard input is a file in the Linux /proc file system, or when standard input is a pipe and standard output is in append mode.
* When grep -Fo finds matches of differing length, it could mistakenly print a shorter one. Now it prints a longest one.- Drop upstreamed proc-lseek-glitch.patch
* Mon Dec 12 2016 schwabAATTsuse.de- testsuite.patch: remove- proc-lseek-glitch.patch: work around proc lseek glitch
* Wed Dec 07 2016 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to grep 2.27
* grep no longer reports a false match in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale like zh_CN.gb18030, with a regular expression like \".
*7\" that just happens to match the 4-byte representation of gb18030\'s \\uC9, the final byte of which is the digit \"7\".
* grep by default now reads all of standard input if it is a pipe, even if this cannot affect grep\'s output or exit status.
* grep no longer mishandles ranges in nontrivial unibyte locales.
* grep -P no longer attempts multiline matches.
* grep -m0 -L PAT FILE now outputs \"FILE\".
* To output \':\' and tab-align the following character C, grep -T no longer outputs tab-backspace-\':\'-C, an approach that has problems if run inside an Emacs shell window.
* grep -T now uses worst-case widths of line numbers and byte offsets instead of guessing widths that might not work with larger files.
* grep no longer reads the input in a few more cases when it is easy to see that matching cannot succeed, e.g., \'grep -f /dev/null\'.
* Fri Oct 28 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com- grep 2.26:
* no longer omit output merely because it follows an output line suppressed due to encoding errors
* In the Shift_JIS locale, no longer mistakenly match in the middle of a multibyte character
* grep can be much faster now when standard output is /dev/null.
* grep -F is now typically much faster when many patterns are given, as it now uses the Aho-Corasick algorithm instead of the Commentz-Walter algorithm in that case.
* grep -iF is typically much faster in a multibyte locale, if the pattern and its case counterparts contain only single byte characters.
* grep with complicated expressions (e.g., back-references) and without -i now uses the regex fastmap for better performance.
* In multibyte locales, grep now handles leading \".\" in patterns more efficiently.
* grep now prints a \"FILENAME:LINENO: \" prefix when diagnosing an invalid regular expression that was read from an \'-f\'-specified file.
* Fri Apr 22 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com- grep 2.25:
* In the C or POSIX locale, grep now treats all bytes as valid characters even if the C runtime library says otherwise. ( Fixes yast2-users and other build failures - boo#966780 )
* grep -oz now uses null bytes, not newlines, to terminate output lines.
* grep now outputs details more consistently when reporting a write error.
* Fri Mar 11 2016 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Update to 2.24
* grep -z would match strings it should not. To trigger the bug, you\'d have to use a regular expression including an anchor (^ or $) and a feature like a range or a backreference, causing grep to forego its DFA matcher and resort to using re_search. With a multibyte locale, that matcher could mistakenly match a string containing a newline. For example, this command: printf \'a\
b\\0\' | LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 grep -z \'^[a-b]
*b\' would mistakenly match and print all four input bytes. After the fix, there is no match, as expected. [bug introduced in grep-2.7]
* grep -Pz now diagnoses attempts to use patterns containing ^ and $, instead of mishandling these patterns. This problem seems to be inherent to the PCRE API; removing this limitation is on PCRE\'s maint/README wish list. Patterns can continue to match literal ^ and $ by escaping them with \\ (now needed even inside [...]). [bug introduced in grep-2.5]
* Fri Feb 05 2016 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Update to 2.23
* Binary files are now less likely to generate diagnostics and more likely to yield text matches. grep now reports \"Binary file FOO matches\" and suppresses further output instead of outputting a line containing an encoding error; hence grep can now report matching text before a later binary match. Formerly, grep reported FOO to be binary when it found an encoding error in FOO before generating output for FOO, which meant it never reported both matching text and matching binary data; this was less useful for searching text containing encoding errors in non-matching lines. [bug introduced in grep-2.21]
* grep -c no longer stops counting when finding binary data. [bug introduced in grep-2.21]
* grep no longer outputs encoding errors in unibyte locales. For example, if the byte \'\\x81\' is not a valid character in a unibyte locale, grep treats the byte as binary data. [bug introduced in grep-2.21]
* grep -oP is no longer susceptible to an infinite loop when processing invalid UTF8 just before a match. [bug introduced in grep-2.22]
* --exclude and related options are now matched against trailing parts of command-line arguments, not against the entire arguments. This partly reverts the --exclude-related change in 2.22. [bug introduced in grep-2.22]
* --line-buffer is no longer ineffective when combined with -l. [bug introduced in grep-2.5]
* -xw is now equivalent to -x more consistently, with -P and with backrefs. [bug only partially fixed in grep-2.19]- Update info handling scriplets
* move from postun to preun
* add dependeny for preun- Refresh partially upstreamed patch
* testsuite.patch
* Thu Nov 26 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de- testsuite.patch: also disable long-pattern-perf test
* Tue Nov 03 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de- testsuite.patch: disable unreliable test mb-non-UTF8-performance
* Mon Nov 02 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com- GNU grep 2.22:
* Improve performance for patterns containing very long strings
* Output and pattern matching bug fixes- drop add gnulib-perl522.patch, changed upstream- drop grep-F-heap-overrun.patch, included upstream
* Mon Jul 06 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- add gnulib-perl522.patch from gnulib.bugs
* Mon Jan 26 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de- grep-F-heap-overrun.patch: fix heap overrun with grep -F (CVE-2015-1345, bsc#914695)
* Mon Jan 12 2015 schwabAATTsuse.de- Fix last change
* Tue Dec 30 2014 meissnerAATTsuse.com- build with PIE enabled
* Fri Nov 28 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU grep 2.21- Improvements:
* performance improved for searching files containing holes, on platforms where lseek\'s SEEK_DATA flag works efficiently.
* performance improved for rejecting data that cannot match even the first part of a nontrivial pattern.
* performance improved for very long strings in patterns.
* If a file contains data improperly encoded for the current locale, and this is discovered before any of the file\'s contents are output, grep now treats the file as binary.
* -P no longer reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data. Instead, it considers the data to be non-matching.- Bug fixes:
* fix issues in multibyte locales
* grep -F -x -o no longer prints an extra newline for each match.
* grep in a non-UTF8 multibyte locale could mistakenly match in the middle of a multibyte character when using a \'^\'-anchored alternate in a pattern, leading it to print non-matching lines.
* grep -F Y no longer fails to match in non-UTF8 multibyte locales
* grep -E rejected unmatched \')\', instead of treating it like \'\\)\'.- Changes in behavior:
* The GREP_OPTIONS environment variable is now obsolescent
* In locales with multibyte character encodings other than UTF-8, grep -P now reports an error and exits instead of misbehaving.
* When searching binary data, grep now may treat non-text bytes as line terminators. This can boost performance significantly.
* grep -z no longer automatically treats the byte \'\\200\' as binary data.
* Sat Jun 07 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU grep 2.20- Bug fixes:
* grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after the Nth match. I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever. [introduced in 2.19]
* A command like echo aa|grep -E \'a(b$|c$)\' would mistakenly report the input as a matched line. [introduced in 2.19]- Changes in behavior:
* grep --exclude-dir=\'FOO/\' now excludes the directory FOO. Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective.
* Sat May 24 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU grep 2.19- Improvements:
* Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below.- Bug fixes:
* grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
* grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list.
* grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero, and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM.
* grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes.
* Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data.
* grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding. Similarly, the patterns \'\\<\', \'\\>\', \'\\b\', and \'\\B\' no longer mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales.
* grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data. Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped.
* grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before, echo aa|grep -Pw \'(.)\\1\' would fail to match, yet echo aa|grep -Pw \'(.)\\2\' would match.
* grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this echo aAATTAATTa| grep -Pw AATTAATT would match, yet this echo aAATTAATTa| grep -w AATTAATT would not. Now, they both fail to match, per the documentation on how grep\'s -w works.
* grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters. For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character \'Lj\' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J), \'grep -i Lj\' now matches both \'LJ\' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ) and \'lj\' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ).- remove mb-non-UTF8-performance.patch, committed upstream
* Tue Mar 25 2014 schwabAATTsuse.de- mb-non-UTF8-performance.patch: make performance-measuring less system-sensitive
* Sat Feb 22 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU grep 2.18
* no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales
* -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower than in 2.16
* Wed Feb 19 2014 mvyskocilAATTsuse.com- update to 2.17
* grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster for patterns that do not contain \\ or [
* grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster when processing many matched lines
* grep\'s --mmap option was disabled in March of 2010, and began to elicit a warning in January of 2012. Now it is completely gone.- Reformat spec file using hints from spec-cleaner
* Sun Jan 05 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- update to 2.16
* Fix gnulib-provided maint.mk to report correct version number
* The fix to make \\s and \\S work with multi-byte white space broke the use of each shortcut whenever followed by a repetition operator. For example, \\s
*, \\s+, \\s? and \\s{3} would all malfunction in a multi-byte locale.
* The fix to make grep -P work better with UTF-8 made it possible for grep to evoke a larger set of PCRE errors, some of which could trigger an abort. E.g., this would abort: printf \'\\x82\'|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P y Now grep handles arbitrary PCRE errors
* Handle very long lines (2GiB and longer) on systems with a deficient read system call.- removed patches:
* grep-gnulib-ppc64le.patch, upstream source removed
* Mon Dec 23 2013 cooloAATTsuse.com- don\'t drag texlive into bootstrap cycle - makeinfo is enough
* Fri Dec 20 2013 uweigandAATTde.ibm.com- grep-gnulib-ppc64le.patch: Fix imported gnulib long double math tests for little-endian PowerPC.
* Wed Dec 11 2013 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- Update to 2.15: Bug fixes:
* grep\'s \\s and \\S failed to work with multi-byte white space characters.
* grep -i would segfault on systems using UTF-16-based wchar_t when converting an input string containing certain 4-byte UTF-8 sequences to lower case.
* grep -E would segfault when given a regexp like \'([^.]
*[M]){1,2}\' for any multibyte character M.
* grep -F would get stuck in an infinite loop when given a search string that is an invalid byte sequence in the current locale and that matches the bytes of the input twice on a line. Now grep fails with exit status 1.
* grep -P could misbehave. New features:
* grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches, This feature is transparent to the user; no flag is required to enable it. It is only available if the corresponding support in the PCRE library is detected when grep is compiled.- require xz for SLE- require texinfo for makeinfo- don\'t autoreconf- remove the added german translations, upstream is up-to-date
* Wed Mar 27 2013 mmeisterAATTsuse.com- Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls
* Fri Aug 24 2012 pthAATTsuse.de- Update to 2.14: Bug fixes:
* grep -i \'^$\' could exit 0 (i.e., report a match) in a multi-byte locale, even though there was no match, and the command generated no output. E.g., seq 2 | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 grep -il \'^$\' would mistakenly print \"(standard input)\". Related, seq 9 | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 grep -in \'^$\' would print \"2:4:6:8:10:12:14:16\" and exit 0. Now it prints nothing and exits with status of 1. [bug introduced in grep-2.6]
* \'grep\' no longer falsely reports text files as being binary on file systems that compress contents or that store tiny contents in metadata.- Add current German message catalog from the translation project.
* Thu Jul 05 2012 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Update to 2.13: It\'s moderately important to upgrade from grep-2.6 or newer, since a Turkish I-with-dot (U+0130) on a matched/printed line makes \"grep -i\" (in nearly any UTF-8 locale) emit corrupt output. Bug fixes:
* grep -i, in a multi-byte locale, when matching a line containing a character like the UTF-8 Turkish I-with-dot (U+0130) (whose lower-case representation occupies fewer bytes), would print an incomplete output line. Similarly, with a matched line containing a character (e.g., the Latin capital I in a Turkish UTF-8 locale), where the lower-case representation occupies more bytes, grep could print garbage. [bug introduced in grep-2.6]
* --include and --exclude can again be combined, and again apply to the command line, e.g., \"grep --include=\'
*.[ch]\' - -exclude=\'system.h\' PATTERN
*\" again reads all
*.c and
*.h files except for system.h. [bug introduced in grep-2.6] New features:
* \'grep\' without -z now treats a sparse file as binary, if it can easily determine that the file is sparse. Dropped features:
* Bootstrapping with Makefile.boot has been broken since grep 2.6, and was removed.
* Mon May 21 2012 tabrahamAATTnovell.com- Update to 2.12:
* \"echp P|grep --devices=skip P\" once again prints P, as it did in 2.10 [bug introduced in grep-2.11]
* grep no longer segfaults with -r --exclude-dir and no file operand. I.e., \":|grep -r --exclude-dir=D PAT\" would segfault. [bug introduced in grep-2.11]
* Recursive grep now uses fts for directory traversal, so it can handle much-larger directories without reporting things like \"Filename too long\", and it can run much faster when dealing with large directory hierarchies. [bug present since the beginning]
* grep -E \'a{1000000000}\' now reports an overflow error rather than silently acting like grep -E \'a\\{1000000000}\'.
* The -R option now has a long-option alias --dereference-recursive.
* The -r (--recursive) option now follows only command-line symlinks. Also, by default -r now reads a device only if it is named on the command line; this can be overridden with --devices. - R acts as before, so use -R if you prefer the old behavior of following all symlinks and defaulting to reading all devices.
* Thu Apr 19 2012 meissnerAATTsuse.de- use -mlong-double-64 on ppc
*
* Tue Mar 13 2012 tabrahamAATTnovell.com- Update to 2.11:
* grep no longer dumps core on lines whose lengths do not fit in \'int\'. (e.g., lines longer than 2 GiB on a typical 64-bit host). Instead, grep either works as expected, or reports an error. An error can occur if not enough main memory is available, or if the GNU C library\'s regular expression functions cannot handle such long lines. [bug present since \"the beginning\"]
* The -m, -A, -B, and -C options no longer mishandle context line counts that do not fit in \'int\'. Also, grep -c\'s counts are now limited by the type \'intmax_t\' (typically less than 2
*
*63) rather than \'int\' (typically less than 2
*
*31).
* grep no longer silently suppresses errors when reading a directory as if it were a text file. For example, \"grep x .\" now reports a read error on most systems; formerly, it ignored the error. [bug introduced in grep-2.5]
* grep now exits with status 2 if a directory loop is found, instead of possibly exiting with status 0 or 1. [bug introduced in grep-2.3]
* The -s option now suppresses certain input error diagnostics that it formerly failed to suppress. These include errors when closing the input, when lseeking the input, and when the input is also the output. [bug introduced in grep-2.4]
* On POSIX systems, commands like \"grep PAT < FILE >> FILE\" now report an error instead of looping. [bug present since \"the beginning\"]
* The --include, --exclude, and --exclude-dir options now handle command-line arguments more consistently. --include and --exclude apply only to non-directories and --exclude-dir applies only to directories. \"-\" (standard input) is never excluded, since it is not a file name. [bug introduced in grep-2.5]
* grep no longer rejects \"grep -qr . > out\", i.e., when run with -q and an input file is the same as the output file, since with -q grep generates no output, so there is no risk of infinite loop or of an output-affecting race condition. Thus, the use of the following options also disables the input-equals-output failure: - -max-count=N (-m) (for N >= 2) - -files-with-matches (-l) - -files-without-match (-L) [bug introduced in grep-2.10]
* grep no longer emits an error message and quits on MS-Windows when invoked with the -r option.
* grep no longer misinterprets some alternations involving anchors (^, $, \\< \\> \\B, \\b). For example, grep -E \"(^|\\B)a\" no longer reports a match for the string \"x a\". [bug present since \"the beginning\"]
* If no file operand is given, and a command-line -r or equivalent option is given, grep now searches the working directory. Formerly grep ignored the -r and searched standard input nonrecursively. An -r found in GREP_OPTIONS does not have this new effect.
* grep now supports color highlighting of matches on MS-Windows.
* Use of the --mmap option now elicits a warning. It has been a no-op since March of 2010.
* grep no longer diagnoses write errors repeatedly; it exits after diagnosing the first write error. This is better behavior when writing to a dangling pipe.
* Syntax errors in GREP_COLORS are now ignored, instead of sometimes eliciting warnings. This is more consistent with programs that (e.g.) ignore errors in termcap entries.- changes from 2.10:
* grep no longer mishandles high-bit-set pattern bytes on systems where \"char\" is a signed type. [bug appears to affect only MS-Windows]
* On POSIX systems, grep now rejects a command like \"grep -r pattern . > out\", in which the output file is also one of the inputs, because it can result in an \"infinite\" disk-filling loop. [bug present since \"the beginning\"]- removed fix-testsuite.diff obsoleted by this release
* Sat Feb 04 2012 rschweikertAATTsuse.com- keep executables in /usr tree (UsrMerge project)
* Fri Dec 02 2011 cfarrellAATTsuse.com- license update: GPL-3.0+ There are no GPL-3.0 files in the package.

* as they dont meet the preconditions in their double vs long double usage.
* Tue Sep 27 2011 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- fix testsuite to build properly against locally built grep
* Wed Aug 10 2011 crrodriguezAATTopensuse.org- Upgrade to version 2.9
* grep no longer clobbers heap for an ERE like \'(^| )
*( |$)\'\' )\'
* grep -P no longer aborts when PCRE\'s backtracking limit is exceeded
* grep\'s interpretation of range expression is now more consistent
* Fri Sep 24 2010 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Replaced configure typo \'--without-included-rege\' in grep.spec (only in case of suse_version < 1120) with \'--without-included-regex\' (which is the default on systems with recent-enough version of the GNU C Library).
* Thu Sep 23 2010 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Version upgrade to grep-2.7 with new behavior: grep now diagnoses (and fails with exit status 2) commonly mistyped regular expression like [:space:], [:digit:], etc. Before, those were silently interpreted as [ac:eps] and [dgit:] respectively. This new behavior is disabled when the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set. Regular expressions including back references are now significantly faster in multi-byte locales. Regular expressions including \".\" can now be significantly faster in UTF-8 locales (though not in other multi-byte locales). Several other minor bugs were fixed. For details see the NEWS file.- Adapted RPM description text to match the \"Introduction to grep\" at http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/ and removed the outdated Authors section, see the AUTHORS file for the right authors.- Enhanced RPM spec file so that it builds and can be provided even for older openSUSE and SLES versions.
* Thu Jul 22 2010 jsmeixAATTsuse.de- Forwarded the below \"upgrade to grep-2.6.3\" to openSUSE:Factory. This is also a reset to full compliance with upstream. All our own patches and \"speedups\" were dropped in the below \"upgrade to grep-2.6.3\" because they had bad side effects like bnc#618455 (SLES11-SP1) and bug#616037 (SLES9-SP4) which do not happen with an upstream compliant grep (regardless of an old version 2.5.1 or the new 2.6.3).- On Fri Apr 9 16:43:45 CEST 2010 duweAATTsuse.de did a version upgrade to grep-2.6.3, which brings among various compile fixes vast improvements for UTF-8 / multibyte handling. Fixes bnc#255977 (SLES10-SP2) and bnc#415228 (SLES9-SP3).
