request bump of f35 pcre2 pkg builds, @ https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pcre2 for f35 from v10.37 -> v10.39, same as rawhide, and increasingly used by upstream pkgs v10.39 is current release https://www.pcre.org/ There are two major versions of the PCRE library. The current version, PCRE2, released in 2015, is now at version 10.39. released, Oct 29, 2021
Hi, Can you please tell me what's the reason you want this rebase to happen? In packages like pcre/pcre2, we need to strongly evaluate if it's really necessary to rebase in the existing distros because it could cause a lot of trouble in case that the new versions are not compatible.
> we need to strongly evaluate if it's really necessary to rebase in the existing distros because it could cause a lot of trouble in case that the new versions are not compatible. mainly, it's the stable-release where current development+support lies. included in the list of general bug fixes, https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2/compare/pcre2-10.37...pcre2-10.39 are specific build system & JIT improvements key (for us) upstream packages are building/testing against it, e.g. the nginx ecosystem to build those locally, or @ COPR, currently requires local installs of updated pcre2 versions, and/or spec file / build-system workaround atm, building + installing for f35 @ separate COPR https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/pgfed/pcre2/ works. and the resultant COPR repo is used subsequently for attachment to other builds, like nginx. doable, sure. tho, personal COPRs not ideal for wider deployment -- and are messy to manage.
I will check the compatibility between the versions.
I've checked the header files and the libraries symbols and it looks like it should be compatible. I'm going to build the package and push it to the testing repo.
