Adding blocking relationship to BZ 2127507 (the Change tracker)

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2022-09-20 15:43:46 UTC

This package cannot be ported to PCRE2 because it's purpose is to provide an alternative regular expression using pcre1 within Perl. (There was a similar perl-re-engine-PCRE2 package using PCRE2. But that package was removed Fedora because it was broken since Perl 5.32.0 without any prospects for a fix. See bug #1849936.)

I will retire this package once pcre is removed from Fedora.
