Comment 9 for bug 1940999

Ah, sorry. I saw "disable-regex" and thought that was a description of the resolution to the failing stack-overflow test!

If updating grep to 3.7 is the easiest way to fix the problem then we can consider that. But since we're in Feature Freeze for Impish, this needs an assessment for feature changes. I see you posted the changes from 3.6 to 3.7. Does this mean you already made the assessment and if so, what was your conclusion? If feature changes exist then we'll need a freeze exception from the release team to proceed down this path.

It's certainly closer but I still think it's a little misleading. Maybe if we expanded the text it'd be closer. How about:

* New upstream version 3.7 to fix FTBFS (LP: #1940999)
* Add d/p/06-disable-test-regex.patch to disable failing test-regex

But in any case, we can leave it until we've concluded the question on the best approach to take.
