Description Lukas Javorsky 2022-09-20 13:07:38 UTC 
Pcre has been deprecated since Fedora 38.
Please consider porting to the new pcre2 version.

Fedora change that describes the pcre deprecation is located here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PcreDeprecation
FESCo approval is located here: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2862

If your component has already ported to pcre2 or you don't Require/BuildRequire any pcre subpackage, feel free to close this Bugzilla.

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.
