Source: pcre3
Version: 1:8.30-5
Severity: normal
As per #616660, pcretest is no longer distributed in any package. This
is however a very useful tool. I'm not sure why arguments in favor of
packaging this tool are deemed lukewarm. It's simply a tool used to
debug regular expressions in any environment that uses pcre, this can be
exim, apache, or even php code. I find this tool occasionally useful and
I'd like to have it available. Packaging it with pcregrep is
counter-intuitive and somewhat illogical so if this takes a -tools
package then I'm in favor of that. exim is a good example of where
regular expressions can become quite complicated and very difficult to
test, but that is in no way the only place where this tool is useful.
It's also a good educational tool.
