Summary: Remove embedded PCRE from exim
Product: Exim
Version: 4.69
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: ASSIGNED
Severity: bug
Priority: high
Component: General execution
AssignedTo: nigel@exim.org
ReportedBy: nigel@exim.org
CC: exim-dev@exim.org


The embedded PCRE requires us to track an external project, exposes users
to unexpected security bugs, and is patched around by several linux
distributors.

I intend to remove the embedded PCRE and force users to use a system PCRE
or build their own version when building/installing exim.

Build/Install documentation needs updating.
