Hi,

Will you be posting a new version with a temp fix or do we need to change our 
pcre setup?

Thanks

Subject: [racktables-users] help wanted with RHEL

Hello, list.

The bug of RackTables 0.18.x not working on CentOS has been pinned down:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457064
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3252
http://chrisjean.com/2009/01/31/unicode-support-on-centos-52-with-php-and-pcre/

Long story short, it's trivial to fix, but RedHat prefers to leave it open in 
its RHEL product. CentOS folks get it copied from RHEL (and also don't fix it), 
and RackTables is not the first application to be impacted by this bug.

A way to work around that would be to revert a part of the recent switch to 
uniform PCRE, namely, to employ mb_ereg() for character class matching again. 
For me this looks to be only a temporary measure (given, that ereg() is already 
deprecated) and adds undesired maintenance overhead.

This is where you can help. I am looking for a RHEL user with a support 
contract, which they could use to push RedHat's bug 457064 to be properly fixed 
(and working RPM put into updates). Technically it is a very simple work, but 
if we could make it done, that would help a lot.
