Adding blocking relationship to BZ 2127507 (the Change tracker)

Comment 2 Jerry James 2022-09-20 14:22:14 UTC

The change to pcre2 has been made in the pl development branch (8.5.x).  It will be part of a future release on a stable branch.  I'm not sure if they're going to backport it to the current stable branch (8.4.x), or wait until the next stable branch (8.6.x) is released.

If we reach the point where we want to retire pcre from Fedora and no stable version of pl yet supports pcre2, then we can either look at backporting the change ourselves, or temporarily package the development branch, whichever seems less risky.

Comment 3 Jerry James 2022-12-16 03:19:02 UTC

The 9.0 series has been released.  I have just built version 9.0.2, which links with pcre2.
