Bug Description

Binary package hint: bash

grep is a highly used command (not quite as ls though), but it's hard to use without --color=auto
/etc/skel/.bashrc adds an alias, but it's commented by default.

I propose to uncomment it, if it does not cause problems

This bug was fixed in the package bash - 4.0-4ubuntu1

---------------
bash (4.0-4ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Build from the upstream sources, build the documentation in info format.
    - /etc/skel/.bashrc: eval lesspipe.
  * Changes to the skeleton .bashrc:
    - Source .bash_aliases after defining aliases. LP: #400686.
    - Enable color support for grep. LP: #386502.
  * The bash docs now describe uname -s not having any effect on many
    systems. LP: #378595.
  * Don't ship an info dir file. LP: #358932.
  * Fix some lintian warnings.

bash (4.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patches 024 - 028.
    - patch 028 closes: #519165. bash-4.0 reverted to the historical
      shell behavior of raising an error when $@ or $* was expanded
      after `set -u' had been executed and there were no positional
      parameters. The Posix working group has since clarified the
      standard's position on the issue, and $@ and $* are now the only
      variables, parameters, or special parameters that do not raise an
      error when unset if set -u is enabled.
  * Enable net redirections, now that bash isn't the default shell
    anymore. LP: #215034.
  * Changes to the skeleton .bashrc:
    - Fix example lines in /etc/bash.bashrc to enable bash completion.
      Closes: #523706, #522857.
    - Don't export HISTCONTROL in bashrc. Closes: #540371.
    - Support user dircolors settings in ~/.dircolors. Closes: #506213.

bash (4.0-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patches 011 - 024.

bash (4.0-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * Apply upstream patches 001 - 010. Closes: #518289.
  * Fix insecure temp file handling in examples scripts. Closes: #509279.
  * /etc/skel.bashrc: Only source bash_completion, if posix mode is turned
    off. Closes: #498474.

bash (4.0-1ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Build from the upstream sources, build the documentation in info format.
    - /etc/skel/.bashrc: eval lesspipe.

bash (4.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream version 4.0.

bash (4.0-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low
