    Hi,

    With the trixie freeze coming up, it's soon going to be time to file a
    ROM for src:pcre3 and drop it entirely. There are still a few packages
    that build with or using pcre3, and none of them are in trixie at the
    moment. If you want any of them to make it into trixie, time is running
    out to migrate them to pcre2 (or otherwise stop using pcre3).

    You can see the list of bugs (and thus impacted packages) either from UDD:

    https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=any&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&flastmodval=7&fusertag=only&fusertagtag=obsolete-pcre3&fusertaguser=matthew-pcredep%40debian.org&allbugs=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&format=html#results

    or by checking the list of bugs blocking #1071970

    Notably, at least some of these bugs appear to have patches available...

    At the time of writing, though, packages impacted are:

    src:zoneminder
    src:renderdoc
    src:watchman
    src:trafficserver
    src:sipxtapi
    src:shush
    src:shadowsocks-libev
    src:prads
    src:mydumper
    src:libsynthesis
    src:libr3
    src:grok
    src:haskell-regex-pcre
    src:mysql-workbench
    src:maildrop
    python3-sage
    src:mvdsv
    src:pplatex
    eclipse-titan
    src:nim
    src:unburden-home-dir

    Regards,

    Matthew
