Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-04-10 23:10:46 UTC
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?

    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:

    Switch back to QRegExp for parsing. KRegExp was too crashy and inconsistant.
    
    QRegExp is not codec safe however.
    
    TODO: Do parsing ourselves
