The question here is, do we strive to make a package that is installable on more machines, (even ones that are going EOL?), or do we strive to make a package that is the best for security?
If the package maintainers are doing a good job, ClamAV with a higher dependency would install the higher pcre. The user would be fine. The problem with my grand theory is, package maintainers are incredibly slow, largely, and most people would have to install from source. We have tens of thousands of new users every month, so it's definitely something we'll have to think about. I am still interested in people's feedback, as right now, this thread seems to be about 50/50 (in requiring pcre 7) -- Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 5, 2017, at 06:39, Ned Slider <n...@unixmail.co.uk> wrote: > >> On 04/03/17 22:54, Joel Esler (jesler) wrote: >> We cannot be tied to distribution support problems. >> > > That's fine Joel.
