[DSE-Dev] Bug#913921: Please consider linking against prce2

[Michael Biebl]

Source: libselinux
Version: 2.8-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

pcre2 is the successor of pcre.
Afaics, libselinux allows linking against pcre2 instead of pcre.
Please consider switching it over to the newer version of the library.

Build-tested patch is attached.

Regards,
Michael
