--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:pcre3 Control: block 1071970 by -1 Hi, PCRE2 was released in 2015, and PCRE3 has been obsolete for years now (final end-of-life release was in 2021). Following a MBF in 2021[0], we have been gradually removing everything that needs PCRE3 from Debian, with only a few stragglers remaining (you can see the list that currently block 1071970, or query udd for the usertag obsolete-pcre3 associated with [email protected] [1]). In my view, none of those stragglers warrant shipping PCRE3 any more, so it's time to remove it from Debian. And doing so with a bit of time before the freeze date gives the maintainers of those stragglers some time to act (some of these bugs have patches available). Thanks, Matthew [0] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/11/msg00176.html [1] 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

The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1094807 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
