Summary: The old version of the fast lexical analyzer generator
Description:
flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognize lexical patterns in text. This is the old 2.5.4a version, which is no longer being developed. You should normally choose flex, unless you have legacy lexer files that do not work with a modern flex.

- Built with LFS support enabled.
Sept. 8, 2009 Dmitry V. Levin 2.5.4a-alt2
- Removed obsolete %install_info/%uninstall_info calls.
Oct. 22, 2005 Dmitry V. Levin 2.5.4a-alt1
- Created a new package called flex-old so that people who have not yet changed their lex files (or can't change them) and thus can't build with the new flex have an option. This is a dead-end package, and shall be removed at some point in the future.
