Bug#683408: Please package pcretest again

2013-07-04 Thread Neale Banks
I too have found pcretest useful - both for my own testing of REs and more importantly as a valuable tool when teaching REs. Please package pcretest, either in its own binary or in a package like prce-utils. Thanks, Neale. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org
