Package: pcre3
Version: 7.3-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi there,
The new glib versions started building against Debian's pcre3 for the
new GRegex API; in the initial uploads, this was built against the
internal pcre copy (I think this was because the pcre version was
slightly too old back then), and we're only switching now.
Glib provides an udeb because the Graphical Debian Installer is based
on the Glib/Gtk stack; this means that it would be best to have an udeb
for libpcre3. (The only other options would be to build against the
builtin pcre copy of glib -- which would be bad security wise -- or to
disable this API/ABI for the udeb which would be quite ugly.)
Do you think you could provide an udeb for libpcre3?
Thanks!
