it's good to know, thanks for information.

Few weeks ago I asked you (the team) about how can I add a new
Nginx module to the upstream?

Here is the e-mail:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-nginx-maintainers/2022q3/001902.html

The introduced package (libnginx-mod-http-security) does not depend on any kind
of pcre packages, but the used "3rd-party" library depends: the
libmodsecurity3 needs pcre or pcre2. The current version of this
package still uses the old pcre library - do you think would it
be good to switch to pcre2?

Btw: is there any news about accepting of the mentioned package?


Thanks,


a.
