I just found out about the "new_pcre" setting in CustomBuild to install the latest PCRE (8.42, released a week ago). I currently have;

Latest version of PCRE: 8.20
Installed version of PCRE: 8.20

But also 8.32 from yum;

Naam : pcre
Arch : x86_64
Versie : 8.32
Release : 17.el7
Grootte : 1.4 M
Repo : installed
Van repo : base

What to do in this situation? By default, what version is used? Can I use "new_pcre" to install 8.42 and don't get any conflicts with the one installed with yum?
 
I alreday has new_pcre=yes in options.conf, and I never had troubles regarding yum installed pcre. However I am always a little afraid of it, so to be on the safe side, I always recompile pcre in custombuild after there has been a yum update to pcre.

By the way, talking about new and old stuff settings :) Here are two others (I have not tested if both of them still is needed to get the newest version, I guess old_apr_util might not be needed anymore):

Code:
new_xml2=yes
old_apr_util=no
