Solved pcre-8.45_4: Tag: deprecated Value: EOLed by upstream, use devel/pcre2 instead

[ZFS_HBG]

Hi

I have a jail for unifi. Unifi requires mongodb50 which requires devel/pcre. I am getting mail every day sense February i believe, about that devel/pcre is EOL.
I looked this up and found this: PR 278632
So i tried to changed devel/pcre to devel/pcre2 in the mongodb50 port. But mongodb50 requires some specific file in devel/pcre that devel/pcre2 didn't have and the install failed.
So how can i solve this issue?

Just keep running like this until you can use a newer mongodb?

Update:
After have updating unifi to unifi8-8.3.32 the system wanted to update mongodb from version 5 to 6. As i didnt take a snapshot this time it resulted in a non-working unifi.
I succeeded in getting unifi to work again by reinstallating unifi from scratch and then restore from backup.

Now i had unifi unifi8-8.3.32 with mongodb 6 that still required devel/pcre. So today i upgraded mongdb to version 7.
I took a snapshot first.
Then did a "portmaster -o databases/mongodb70 mongodb60-6.0.16_1" and now i have a working unifi with mongodb 7 that is using devel/pcre2 instead of devel/pcre.

I hope this helps more people that is using unifi on FreeBSD.

This case is solved.
