[Bug 1792544] Re: demotion of pcre3 (8.x) a.k.a pcre (without the 3) in favor of pcre2 (10.x)

[Anders Kaseorg]

The situation with apache2 is what I documented in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/1792544/comments/9:

“But since we’re apparently gathering information here: although Apache
2.4.x does not support PCRE2, Apache trunk does support PCRE2 as of
r1773454. (As you can see, this support was added by creating separate
conditionally compiled code paths for PCRE and PCRE2.)

https://github.com/apache/httpd/commit/b1a3338e011a17ad190fb7f66cf5ca9acf353570”

trunk is the 2.5.x branch, not 2.4.x.

Bug description:
  https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-
  archive/transitions/html/pcre2-main.html

  demotion of pcre3 in favor of pcre2. These packages need analysis what
  needs to be done for the demotion of pcre3:

  Packages which are ready to build with pcre2 should be marked as
  'Triaged', packages which are not ready should be marked as
  'Incomplete'.

  ------
  For clarification: pcre2 is actually newer than pcre3.  pcre3 is just poorly named.
