Bug ID: 294476
Summary: mail/sqwebmail: Remove unneeded dependency on
devel/pcre
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: ws@au.dyndns.ws

sqwebmail Changelog indicates PCRE dependency was switched to PCRE2 since
v6.0.7.
devel/pcre is EOL and appears in daily security reports under "Checking for
packages with security vulnerabilities:"
On a mail system that has 300+ ports installed including courier-imap and
maildrop sqwebmail is the only port shown as requiring devel/pcre.
sqwebmail appears to build successfully without LIB_DEPENDS pcre.so:devel/pcre.
No testing has yet been conducted beyond that.
