Amazon Linux 2023 still provides the oniguruma and oniguruma-devel packages.

What is the support plan for the oniguruma and oniguruma-devel packages in Amazon Linux 2023?

@krymtkts ,
You can always check a support status via a Support Info dnf plugin to query this information for any package AL2023 ships:

$ sudo dnf install -qy dnf-plugin-support-info

  dnf-plugin-support-info-1.11-1.amzn2023.noarch

$ dnf supportinfo --pkg oniguruma

Thanks for the explanation and for pointing me to the dnf-plugin-support-info plugin.
That was exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.
