>Description:

	The /usr/bin/error program should be reincorporated into the
	FreeBSD distribution.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try to run /usr/bin/error -- it isn't there.

	Go to:

	http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/error/Attic/error.h

	and you'll notice it was removed 11 months, 3 weeks ago.

>Fix:

	Remove it from the Attic and reincorporate it in the FreeBSD
	distribution.

	Instead of invoking error this way:

		make foo | error -v

	This way makes it seem as though it doesn't detect any
	errors.  One must redirect stderr thusly:

		make foo 2>&1 | error -v

	It works just fine and it is incredibly useful.

 how about making it a port (like 44bsd-csh and 44bsd-more)?

Kris nuked this, and given the CVS log message I don't hold out a lot of 
hope for its return. However, he can give you a more definitive answer 
when he gets back from his trip. Please be patient, thanks.

I think it's fair to say I'm not interested in doing this :) If you 
still would like a version of error available to parse the errors from 
make(1), please resubmit it as a port, per the feedback from 4 years 
ago.
