bsdgrep 20080624 textproc =3

BSD-licensed version of grep from OpenBSD
Maintained by: gabor@FreeBSD.org
Port Added: 19 Jun 2007 22:22:49

---

---

This is the BSD-licensed version of the well-known grep utility, obtained from
OpenBSD. It lacks some features of GNU grep. It is a proposed project idea
to replace the GNU grep with this one, but it needs to be completed first.
Patches are highly appreciated.

- Update to 20080624

Changes:
        - Improved GNU compatibility, e.g. all the returned status codes
          should be compatible now
        - Added NLS support via catgets()
        - Change the way of handling gzip/bzip2 files to get rid of some
          limitations, like detecting of binary bzip2 files
        - Cleanups in the code

- Update to 20080615

This version is now supposed to be compatible with GNU grep 2.5.1, which
can be found in FreeBSD. According to some preliminary measurements,
they achieve almost the same level of efficiency, this version seem to be
measureably but not significantly faster. Further tests are needed
to test and examine this version of grep.

- Update to 20080526
- Create symlinks during the build: bsdgrep and gnugrep

- Update to 20080422 to get rid of the weird distfile.
  No functional changes.
