Package: pcre3
Severity: wishlist

Please see <ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/>,
the corresponding changelog entry lists as follows:

| Version 6.4 05-Sep-05
| ---------------------
| 
|  1. Change 6.0/10/(l) to pcregrep introduced a bug that caused separator lines
|     "--" to be printed when multiple files were scanned, even when none of the
|     -A, -B, or -C options were used. This is not compatible with Gnu grep, so 
I
|     consider it to be a bug, and have restored the previous behaviour.
| 
|  2. A couple of code tidies to get rid of compiler warnings.
| 
|  3. The pcretest program used to cheat by referring to symbols in the library
|     whose names begin with _pcre_. These are internal symbols that are not
|     really supposed to be visible externally, and in some environments it is
|     possible to suppress them. The cheating is now confined to including
|     certain files from the library's source, which is a bit cleaner.
| 
|  4. Renamed pcre.in as pcre.h.in to go with pcrecpp.h.in; it also makes the
|     file's purpose clearer.
| 
|  5. Reorganized pcre_ucp_findchar().

Please package this new version when you think it is due time.

If time is a scarce resource for you just drop me a note and I can try
putting together a package. I'd probably need help getting the shlibs
right, though...

Cheers,
Flo
