Two Draft PRs: PCRE Compatibility and RRDtool 1.9 Support – Request for Testing: Update

Hi all,

Quick follow-up to my previous mail.

PR #74 has been re-scoped and should now be treated as exploration work, not as a merge-ready patch set:  
https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon/pull/74

Scope/direction reference:  
https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon/pull/74#issuecomment-3910386468

PR #72 remains under review and is still a candidate for integration after additional validation:  
https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon/pull/72

Thanks again for the reviews and testing support.

Bruno

Hi all,

I just opened two PRs:

• PCRE1/PCRE2 compatibility layer migration: (draft)
  https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon/pull/74

• RRDtool compatibility for < 1.9 and >= 1.9:
  https://github.com/xymon-monitoring/xymon/pull/72

Both implement a compatibility layer and aim to make the new libraries the mainstream code path.

If someone could run the checklist tests, that would be super helpful. Once we have a couple of confirmations, we could .. move toward making a release!

I pulled ideas from lots of the existing issues/PRs - even if I do not remember every detail, they were really useful. And since I am not exactly a C expert, that support helped me a lot to get these two PRs ready. If I missed something or got anything wrong, please tell me.

Thanks a lot in advance!
