Description Gabriele Turchi 2023-06-17 19:21:08 UTC 
In the most cases, fgrep command is used called by the alias set in the /etc/profile.d/colorgrep.sh file.
Every time the annoying warning is shown, but could be enough to modify the fgrep alias to use the grep -F command.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. user fgrep
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F
Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2023-07-13 15:29:37 UTC 
I will fix it in rawhide, because it is change of the behavior in the critical path component which could have some undesired effects.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2023-07-13 15:35:12 UTC 
Maybe we should drop the egrep/fgrep aliases later not to divert from upstream, but I will keep them for now.
