Going through and checking libpcre revdeps as folks sloooowly port to pcre2. I can't see a reference to libpcre in the tarball (21.12.3) and Exherbo don't list it in their dependencies for Kopete either. Obsolete?
commit 36a3620ae83e36962fe038ab09d6eacb6beb743c Author: Jason Keirstead <jason at keirstead.org> Date: Fri May 14 02:45:14 2004 +0000 Fix crash bug when suffix was empty Remove requirement for pcre; use deprecated KRegExp class instead. Left pcre code in in case deprecated class is ever removed Resulting leftover PCRE_NO_UTF8_CHECK is then cleaned up here: commit 88560b5123eeafa83e43b5e95ea6a873334fcbc5 Author: Jason Keirstead <jason at keirstead.org> Date: Thu Jul 8 14:21:55 2004 +0000 Switch back to QRegExp for parsing. KRegExp was too crashy and inconsistant. QRegExp is not codec safe however. TODO: Do parsing ourselves
kopete is probably the cruftiest ebuild in all of kde-*/ categories.
