This is a bit off topic here, but since this is a bit unfair, I'd like to correct the record: The only reason pcre was bundled in the first place is that we wanted to avoid keeping two copies of the Unicode data in memory. Which may not matter to you, but it is not a small amount of data, so I think this is a valid reason. _______________________________________________ polkit-devel mailing list polkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/polkit-devel
