[ol7_u8_base] flex-2.5.37-6.el7.aarch64

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.

  - dropping 183098 test, since the original bug was already resolved

• Wed Jul 12 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com> - 2.5.4a-38.1

  - rebuild

• 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.

• Wed Mar 08 2006 Petr Machata <pmachata@redhat.com> - 2.5.4a-37.4
