https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267957 Bug ID: 267957 Summary: net-mgmt/zabbix6-server: add option to select between PCRE and PCRE2 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: otis@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michael.osipov@siemens.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(otis@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: otis@FreeBSD.org PCRE(1) has been deprecated for quite some time now and superseded by PCRE2. All users are advised to switch to it. http://pcre.org/ says: ====================== There are two major versions of the PCRE library. The current version, PCRE2, released in 2015, is now at version 10.39. The older, but still widely deployed PCRE library, originally released in 1997, is at version 8.45. This version of PCRE is now at end of life, and is no longer being actively maintained. Version 8.45 is expected to be the final release of the older PCRE library, and new projects should use PCRE2 instead. ====================== Proposal: Add option to choose between PCRE1 and PCRE2. According to the Zabbix Upgrade Guide not all regex statements might be compatible. Future Zabbix 6.x should only use PCRE2. Current (6.0.x, not 6.2.x because it is shortlived) might migrate somewhere in the future.
