Not yet. Most still look for pcre as far as I could tell in my last build.

Build systems need to update their checks, and not only that, there are library 
changes even if you force the checks.
If you do an audit between a pcre and pcre2 install, you'll notice the 
differences and there may be patches for packages to use pcre2. I suppose we 
will need to wait to see what happens.

Sincerely,
 
William Harrington
