--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2006-811 2006-07-14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : flex Version : 2.5.4a Release : 39.fc5 Summary : A tool for creating scanners (text pattern recognizers). Description : The flex program generates scanners. Scanners are programs which can recognize lexical patterns in text. Flex takes pairs of regular expressions and C code as input and generates a C source file as output. The output file is compiled and linked with a library to produce an executable. The executable searches through its input for occurrences of the regular expressions. When a match is found, it executes the corresponding C code. Flex was designed to work with both Yacc and Bison, and is used by many programs as part of their build process.
You should install flex if you are going to use your system for application development.

* Fri Jul 14 2006 Petr Machata pmachata@redhat.com - 2.5.4a-39 - fileno is defined in posix standard, so adding #define _POSIX_SOURCE to compile without warnings (#195687) - dropping 183098 test, since the original bug was already resolved * Fri Mar 10 2006 Petr Machata pmachata@redhat.com - 2.5.4a-38 - Caught the real cause of #183098. It failed because the parser built with `flex -f' *sometimes* made it into the final package, and -f assumes seven-bit tables. Solution has two steps. Move `make bigcheck' to `%check' part, where it belongs anyway, so that flexes built during `make bigcheck' don't overwrite original build. And change makefile so that `make bigcheck' will *always* execute *all* check commands.
