8Due to an unfortunate number of bugs and performance problems in
9GNU grep 2.5.1, various patches from The Fedora Project have been applied.
10These patches can be extracted from the SRPM package available at:

12	http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/
13		3.92/SRPMS/grep-2.5.1-48.src.rpm
14
15The following patches have been applied:
16
17	grep-2.5-i18n.patch
18	grep-2.5.1-bracket.patch
19	grep-2.5.1-color.patch
20	grep-2.5.1-dfa-optional.patch
21	grep-2.5.1-egf-speedup.patch
22	grep-2.5.1-fgrep.patch
23	grep-2.5.1-icolor.patch
24	grep-2.5.1-oi.patch
25	grep-2.5.1-w.patch
26
27In addition to these, some FreeBSD-specific changes have been made
28to add bzip2 support, etc.
29
30Due to the large number of patches applied, conflicts are likely with
31future releases. However, most of the patches are either (a) small bug
32fixes that have been fed upstream, or (b) performance improvements that
33could be reverted without loss of functionality.
34
35It is suggested that those planning to import a newer release of GNU grep
36should revert all local changes since the 2.5.1 import before proceeding
37with the newer import.
