Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-12-18 04:26:17 UTC 
The ebuild currently has USE=pcre and USE=pcre2. Please drop USE=pcre2 and make USE=pcre mean "support for libpcre2", as libpcre1 is EOL. Thanks!

I'm confused about the support in the ebuild, too.

In 1.27.3-r1 at least, I see:
```
	pcre? ( dev-libs/libpcre:= )
	pcre2? ( dev-libs/libpcre2:= )
	pcre-jit? ( dev-libs/libpcre:=[jit] )
[...]
	nginx_modules_http_rewrite? ( dev-libs/libpcre:= )
```

1. Should USE=pcre-jit be using libpcre2? Is it obsolete or relevant still with USE=pcre2?
2. Does http_rewrite support pcre2?
