[OpenSIPS-Users] Compile OpenSIPS 3.4 on Debian Trixie

[Karsten Wemheuer]

Hi,

thanks Richard.

Yes, OpenSIPS is not supported out of the box in Debian 13. But I've
read about a patch in master branch using PCRE2 instead of PCRE3 (which
ist EOLed as far as I know).

I now want to try to integrate the patch into branch 3.6 as this is an
LTS branch. But I am not very familiar with git. Which commits are
related to the switch to PCRE2?

Have a nice weekend.

Best regards

Karsten
