Could you perhaps explain the rationale behind pcre -> re2 (never heard of it before) change? I mean, lots of ports depend on devel/pcre, which seems to be de-facto regex library, and having two similar (well, that's maybe an underestimation) libraries installed in a system without some sufficiently strong reason seems at least questionable. (Unless, of course, this port deliberately requires re2 and cannot be built against pcre or easily converted.) Thanks. ./danfe
