When we last checked, there were no problems with PCRE, but PCRE2 wasn't available in most distributions we support, making the switch mostly meaningless. Also, it looks like PCRE2 is still not supported even by Exim, which is the parent project of PCRE and PCRE2: https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878 As such, adding PCRE2 support to nginx looks premature. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to grep in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792544 Title: demotion of pcre3 in favor of pcre2 Status in aide package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu: New Status in apr-util package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in clamav package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in exim4 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in freeradius package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in git package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in grep package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in haproxy package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in libpam-mount package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in libselinux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in nginx package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in nmap package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in pcre3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in php7.2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in postfix package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in python-pyscss package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in quagga package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in rasqal package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in slang2 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in sssd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in wget package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in zsh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: demotion of pcre3 in favor of pcre2.
