Created attachment 229228 [details] Patch for pcre2 Use upstream release archive which is significantly smaller in size This is also recommended by Porter's Handbook instead of using USE_GITHUB While at it, also switch PORTVERSION to DISTVERSION to follow Porter's Handbook more closely. Tested on FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #1 stable/13-n247248-fc1b69d0311 (amd64)
I guess I'll wait till 1.40 is released and apply your patch, there's nothing wrong with the current version as well. So let's keep this bug report opened for a while
Fixed as of 4a3d3aa4748e76ab3e01b3e32fdf513e6c7554b4
