1793001 - old-configure uses deprecated egrep, change to grep -E

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Andreas Stieger]

Steps to reproduce:

I removed /usr/bin/egrep (related to GNU grep 3.8 issuing warnings for egrep usage, and preparing for a removal in the far future) and build the openSUSE package

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/MozillaFirefox/MozillaFirefox.spec?expand=1
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/MozillaThunderbird/MozillaThunderbird.spec?expand=1

Actual results:

[ 156s] 0:14.31 checking whether /usr/bin/gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -pthread... /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/firefox-104.0.2/old-configure: line 4351: egrep: command not found
[ 156s] 0:14.31 /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/firefox-104.0.2/old-configure: line 4351: egrep: command not found
[ 156s] 0:14.31 yes

Expected results:

egrep should be converted to grep -E
