When updating, all non-code files were dropped, expecially the LICENCE file. I think it would be better to add the upstream PCRE 2 LICENCE file back and maybe also the other ones: AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING HACKING INSTALL LICENCE NEWS NON-AUTOTOOLS-BUILD README doc The loss might be due to the fact, that in PCRE 1 source file were located in the top directory, just as these accompanying files, in PCRE 2 they are located in a sub folder "src", so just syncing the src folder misses the accompanying files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78349&edit=1
