[Bug 215610] New: let's build php with system pcre, if possible
- From: bugzilla_noreply@xxxxxxxxxx

Summary: let's build php with system pcre, if possible
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Beta 1
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Development
AssignedTo: anosek@xxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: poeml@xxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx
At the moment, php is built with its own private copy of pcre. This can
mean duplication of work in case of a pcre security update, or missing
to fix pcre at all, or clashes if to copies of pcre are loaded into
apache (apache links against system pcre).
Using system pcre wasn't possible in the past, it was tried, and led to
problems because apache used its own pcre as well. But this is fixed
now.
History of related bugs:
> Bug 112645 - build php4 and php5 with system pcre
> Bug 114157 - VUL-0: after last pcre and php update some php pages now crash
> Bug 112651 - VUL-0: apache2 - fix pcre problems
>
> there was a problem with older versions when apache was _also_ linking
> to its own pcre. This has been corrected in 10.1.
>
> Since it uses system pcre, there shouldn't be a problem any more, should
> there?
But, citing Cristian:
> hrmm.. that will need a quick look , and a system PCRE >= 6.7
> the look is needed to see if the PCRE library bundled with php is not
> modified.,.. at least sqlite , sqlite3, gd and zip bundled libraries are .

> and the old adagio is still valid.. " if aint' broke.. don't break it...
> " ;P , anyway, I 'll attempt to break it if you like later ;)
Ales, maybe we could just give it a try? (If pcre is not modified in a
way which prevents the switch)
