    jq-1.6-159-apple-gcff5336-dirty



I can't know what "-dirty" implies, but https://github.com/jqlang/jq/commit/cff5336 is a pretty random commit from 2022 :-(

https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... hasn't been updated with a "jq" directory yet


"dirty" usually means that the commit doesn't correspond to any specific version tag in the repo (or whatever other mechanism is used to map commits to versions).


Incorrect: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe#Documentation/git-desc...

> If the working tree has local modification "-dirty" is appended to it.

and one can see their invocation of --dirty here: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/cff5336ec71b6fee396a95bb0e...


1.6? Wonder why they went with an outdated version.


If you think this is bad then don’t check the version of bash it ships with.
