(Short answer: the usual way would be to add a\n/src/grep/release.sh script that builds and installs 'grep', imitating\nothers /src/*/release.sh scripts, to make it easy to keep grep.exe up\nto date in the future.)\n\nThanks for your interest, and hope that helps,\nJonathan\n\n-- \n-- \n*** Please reply-to-all at all times ***\n*** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) ***\n*** Please avoid top-posting. ***\nThe msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.\n\nYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google\nGroups \"msysGit\" group.\nTo post to this group, send email to msysgit@googlegroups.com\nTo unsubscribe from this group, send email to\nmsysgit+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com\nFor more options, and view previous threads, visit this group at\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/msysgit?hl=en_US?hl=en\n\n--- \nYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups \"msysGit\" group.\nTo unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to msysgit+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.\nFor more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out.\n"},{"id":"231387","messageId":"CALWbr2zMfviXJfRVOUh+GgMTQZuBHAdjRdumoYG_QYmYOuUamQ@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"35452","inReplyTo":"CACAE+cGBvwVRjm8=-3e+w_xQozP1nfsphK4-ndky2yZoCoMjxw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Please update grep in the Windows Git distro","fromName":"Antoine Pelisse","fromEmail":"apelisse@gmail.com","sentAt":"2013-12-02T20:08:55Z","receivedAt":"2013-12-02T20:08:55Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"apelisse@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1929644?v=4"},"body":"On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 8:36 PM, Tom Byrer <tombyrer@gmail.com> wrote:\n> Seems that grep.exe is too outdated for some scripts:\n> https://github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/75#issuecomment-13735767\n\n-o is not an option of POSIX grep [1] and you should probably not rely\non it for portable script.\n\n[1]: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/grep.html\n"}]}
