This package is no longer actively maintained as it reached End-of-Life. [1] All new projects should use PCRE2.

OpenWrt wants to be minimalistic and we migrated many packages from PCRE to PCRE2 huge thanks belong to @Ansuel (Christian Marangi), who worked with several open-source projects to migrate it to PCRE2 [2]. This means that on routers, we don't need to have installed two libraries (pcre and pcre2) side by side.
