When you've built your own version with a patch for a problem, nothing prevents you from simply creating a submit request for that patch on OBS to "Base:System/grep", and maybe even creating a maintenance request for "openSUSE:13.2/grep".

stop, 'rm -rf .' is a completely different story - your bug report was about 'grep -P' (for which the bug report is OT on the coreutils mailing list btw.). Having your own (probably non-generally wanted) patches in your own OBS project is perfect. I was just talking about submitting the patch for the non-utf8 issue (for which I personally didn't check whether it is already included downstreams). Have a nice day, Berny
