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 at 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 at 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.
