Name : ack
Product : Fedora 19
Version : 2.12
Release : 1.fc19
URL : http://betterthangrep.com/
Summary : Grep-like text finder
Description :
Ack is designed as a replacement for grep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This verison of ack prevents the --pager, --regex and --output
options from being used from project-level ackrc files. It is
possible to execute malicious code with these options, and we want
to prevent the security risk of acking through a potentially malicious
codebase, such as one downloaded from an Internet site or checked
out from a code repository.
