PermalinkWith the trixie freeze coming up, it's soon going to be time to file a
ROM for src:pcre3 and drop it entirely. There are still a few packages
that build with or using pcre3, and none of them are in trixie at the
moment. If you want any of them to make it into trixie, time is running
out to migrate them to pcre2 (or otherwise stop using pcre3).
You can see the list of bugs (and thus impacted packages) either from UDD:
https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=any&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&flastmodval=7&fusertag=only&fusertagtag=obsolete-pcre3&fusertaguser=matthew-pcredep%40debian.org&allbugs=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&format=html#results
or by checking the list of bugs blocking #1071970
Notably, at least some of these bugs appear to have patches available...
At the time of writing, though, packages impacted are:
src:zoneminder
src:renderdoc
src:watchman
src:trafficserver
src:sipxtapi
src:shush
src:shadowsocks-libev
src:prads
src:mydumper
src:libsynthesis
src:libr3
src:grok
src:haskell-regex-pcre
src:mysql-workbench
src:maildrop
python3-sage
src:mvdsv
src:pplatex
eclipse-titan
src:nim
src:unburden-home-dir
