PCRE upstream have been wanting to be shot of old-pcre for a very long time now (pcre2 has been available since 2015, and was first in Debian stretch), and it's been essentially unsupported for a number of years now; I had originally hoped we could ditch it from bookworm. I thought the beginning of a release cycle was the natural time to bump to RC severity to try and make sure we can remove pcre3 in good time for trixie.

Thanks for driving this forward! There's a transition tracker [1] which might be helpful. Regards Graham [1] https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/pcre3-to-pcre2.html

You don't think that marking packages for removal two weeks after the bug is filed is a little much? Apologies, the original bug report apparently slipped under the radar.

Please add the sid and trixie tags to these bugs so that people who care about Debian (old)stable can concentrate on the bugs which actually matter for these distributions. Thanks, Sven

I propose a MBF to track our progress in getting rid of it for Bookworm Bookworm is now out; I will shortly be increasing the severity of the outstanding bugs to RC, with the intention being to remove src:pcre3 from Debian before the trixie release. While upstream never did produce a porting guide, though there was some useful discussion of some of the issues on the relevant issue report[0]; additionally, the glib gregex change set to make the change is quite comprehensive[1].
