• Bug#1098377: new upstream release available

    From Jonas Smedegaard@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 14 16:30:01 2025
    Hi Anarcat,

    Quoting Antoine Beaupre (2025-02-19 20:52:11)
    There's been a couple new major releases of pandoc upstream (currently
    3.6.3 is latest), it would be great to see those in Debian!

    Unfortunately, my hands are tied, and they were also in february when
    the window was slightly more open window for upgrade before the freeze:

    Pandoc is strongly bound to the Haskell library ecosystem that is not
    very agile - see e.g. last response on this from the Haskell team at https://lists.debian.org/aec96a4-2bc1-8e60-79cf-35742e2a9893@techie.net

    If you are curious as to what can be expected when, then keep an eye on releases of the Debian package ghc, locate the newest release at https://www.stackage.org/ for that same upstream version, and in the
    long listing at that Stackage release locate the pandoc release - then
    you have the version of Pandoc that you can expect few months later in unstable, when the whole Haskell library stack has (hopefully) migrated
    to that newer Stackage release.

    - Jonas
