"Other distros do it" isn't sufficient rationale, by itself, to support
putting pcre2 in main. We already ship it, the question is whether it
should be in main, meaning whether Canonical will be responsible for
support, providing security updates, etc.
To mirror what doko mentioned earlier, what
It seems likely that Ubuntu will have to support/ship both PCRE and
PCRE2 before long. At least some other distros (Fedora, Gentoo, Debian)
appear to be doing that already.
As mentioned above, for packaging purposes PCRE2 is effectively a new
project, *not* a new version of the previous PCRE. The

[MIR] pcre2
To manage notifications
To be clear, I share doko's feeling against having two versions of the
library in main if it can be avoided -- this is certainly not a
permanent situation, but most things don't appear to have switched to
pcre2 just yet (and I would expect they would in the near-ish term). In
that sense, I'd be
I understand the concerns, and I share them, but I don't think we should
alone make the decision. Perhaps bring this up for wider discussion on
the ubuntu-devel mailing list?

For zesty, I have proposed reverting the mandatory pcre2 changes so that
we can do the vte/gnome-terminal update. See bug 1666264
Like I wrote there, I am concerned about how long these reverts can be
maintained with new versions.

If y'all are indeed going to block on there not being allowed to have 2
pcre's in main, then I guess we'll either have to figure out how to hack
vte2.91 and gnome-terminal to either not use pcre2 or instead use the
older pcre3. Or we'll just keep using the current gnome-terminal/vte.

> pcre3 is already in Ubuntu main
we don't want to have two versions in main. please could you evaluate
first what is needed to demote pcre3?
