Description: re2c is a tool for writing very fast and very flexible scanners. Unlike any other such tool, re2c focuses on generating high efficient code for regular expression matching. As a result this allows a much broader range of use than any traditional lexer offers. And Last but not least re2c generates warning free code that is equal to hand-written code in terms of size, speed and quality.

Packages already exist for Fedora and EL6, but no EL7 packages exist. This package is a dependency for openvpn-auth-ldap and is required to compile optimized spamassassin rulesets (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212912). I do intend to submit an EL7 package for openvpn-auth-ldap shortly.

I've tested that this builds in Koji (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13636725) and Copr (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/seancallaway/re2c/build/174820/).

This is my first package submission and I am looking for a sponsor.

re2c is already in Fedora - it just needs an EPEL7 branch made.
