Probably it would be good not to update to flex 2.6.2. There are reports that several projects (including mesa) fail to build when using 2.6.2. Gentoo has a list of compile errors: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598186 The upstream issue is https://github.com/westes/flex/issues/113

(In reply to Upstream Release Monitoring from comment #9) > Latest upstream release: 2.6.3 > Current version/release in rawhide: 2.6.1-2.fc26 > URL: https://github.com/westes/flex > Based on the information from anitya: https://release-monitoring.org/project/819/ * version 2.6.3 released 2016-12-30 ** scanner *** several bug fixes resolved problems introduced in recent flex versions regarding processing of comments, literals and various quoting scenarios. *** If the path to m4 was sufficiently long, a buffer overflow could occur. This has been resolved. The fix also removes dependence on the constant PATH_MAX. ** build *** A new configure option --disable-bootstrap changes the behavior of the build system when building flex. The default "--enable-bootstrap" behavior is to build flex, then to use that flex to build flex again. With --disable-bootstrap, the scanner is simply built by sedding the scanner source. This is friendlier to cross compilation. *** The compatibility functions in lib/ are no longer built as a library. Instead, they are built as $(LIBOBJ) objects. This is simpler and friendlier to cross compilation. *** It is now possible to build flex without building the accompanying libfl. This is friendlier to cross compilation. See the --disable-libfl option to configure. Resolves #99. *** the PIC version of libfl was not correctly built. It is no longer included in the build/installation targets of flex since it was unused. *** the distributed man page is only rebuilt when the relevant source files change or when the binary doesn't exist. In particular, this is friendlier to cross compilation. Resolves #108 ** test *** the shell scripts in the test suite are more portable across different shell implementations. * version 2.6.2 released 2016-10-24 ** flex internals *** a segfalt involving yyrestart(NULL) has been fixed *** flex should now handle quoting when mixed with m4 processing correctly *** flex handles `[[' and `]]' correctly *** flex no longer generates non-ANSI code *** more compilation warnings were squashed in generated scanners *** prevented a buffer overflow that could occur when input buffers were the exact wrong size ** test suite *** input filenames on MSWindows are now calculated correctly *** general code cleanups in a number of tests now make the test suite compile much more cleanly ** build system *** the xz archive has been replaced with an lzip archive *** a new option to configure --enable-warnings to encapsulate passing of warning-related flags which is useful in testing flex *** make indent now works for out of source builds *** Portability warnings when generating Makefile.in files are now suppressed; they were just noise and the use of GNU extensions in Makefile.{am,in,} was intentional and well known. ** bugs *** resolved gh#67 ** new sv translation from the translation project
Does flex 2.6.3 fix it? I have a bug with building vile with the current flex 2.6.0: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?50345

Flex 2.6.5 is WIP: https://github.com/westes/flex/milestone/4
I packaged 2.6.4 some months back, but forgot to update this bugzilla. Here's the current Fedora 30 build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1186616 (In reply to Xose Vazquez Perez from comment #17) > Flex 2.6.5 is WIP: https://github.com/westes/flex/milestone/4 Thanks. This continues to be true. I see that the latest commit is from 20th June and has new .po files, so things are moving. We can close this bug and wait for Upstream Release Monitoring to file a new bug when it is finally released.
