Hello, I have written a small library to wrap the regcomp(3), regexec(3), and regerror(3) POSIX functions. This allows using strict POSIX Basic Regular Expressions (BREs) and Extended Regular Expressions (EREs) from CHICKEN code. My understanding is that irregex only supports EREs with PCRE extensions (hence the need for this egg).
I would like to see it added to the egg repository. The source code is hosted at https://github.com/nmeum/posix-regex. The release info file is available at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmeum/posix-regex/main/posix-regex.release-info I have performed tests with test-new-egg and only the documentation step fails. I assume this is due to the fact that I haven't created a Wiki page yet, I will do so after the egg is added to the repository (it wasn't clear to me whether Documentation should be created beforehand). Let me know if there is anything that needs to be adjusted. Please CC me, I am not subscribed to the list. Greetings, Sören
