Comment 8 Felix Schwarz 2016-11-04 07:53:40 UTC
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:

* 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

Comment 17 Xose Vazquez Perez 2018-05-18 21:24:45 UTC
Flex 2.6.5 is WIP: https://github.com/westes/flex/milestone/4

Comment 18 Arjun Shankar 2019-06-26 17:31:06 UTC
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

> 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.
