Adding blocking relationship to BZ 2127507 (the Change tracker)

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2022-09-20 14:35:25 UTC

The pcre support is optional in slang. It's used only for the pcre module, which can be disabled.

Comment 3 Miroslav Lichvar 2023-01-24 14:47:05 UTC

The pcre module is disabled for now. Upstream documentation mentions pcre2, but there is no support for it yet.
