This email is the first step in a proposed update of the re2 package
from version 20220601 to 20240702 in EPEL10[1]. This would be an
ABI-incompatible update[2] that would bump the SONAME version from 9 to 11.
In addition to two years of assorted bugfixes, which are mostly only
documented in the commit messages[3], this update would allow us to ship
the maintained, official Python bindings[4] as a python3-google-re2
subpackage.
While there are a quite a few packages that depend on re2 in Fedora,
it’s still a leaf package in EPEL10. I’m hoping that this fact, along
with the benefits of shipping a current version with Python bindings and
the fact that EPEL10 has not yet been officially launched for end-users,
will help make this an uncontroversial proposal.
