The packages elpa-auto-complete and elpa-markdown-toc are missing from
trixie. They are in bookworm and sid. Any chance we'll see them back in
trixie?

This looks like the culprit: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1077096

But the maintainer hasn't dealt with it in 6 months.

This package needs a no-change upload to rebuild it against dh-elpa

=2.1.5. This is because binNMUs cannot be used to rebuild arch:all

packages.

IIUC literally all that is required is to reupload without any changes.

Thank you.

I looked to see if I could simply load the elpa packages from emacs
(M-x list-packages). Neither one is a stand-alone package. However,
Markdown mode is available, and might contain markdown-toc. I didn't
see any obvious candidate for auto-completion.

I don't require them on trixie, and am willing to wait until it is
released. I don't see an obvious workaround. I hesitate to go to the
upstream source and pull in those, as I am no elisp expert.

You should be able to build the package locally.

I don't use emacs, so this doesn't impact me, but this is the biggest
headache of dist-upgrade, working out what is no longer present before
you start.

moinmoin was the worst. Because all my notes were on a moinmoin wiki. I
now have a separate buster VM and its mirror just for this. Ironically,
the only reason I chose moinmoin over any other wiki was because debian
used it so I thought they wouldn't drop it without lots of planning that
I'd see.

I'm still waiting to see what debian migrates to. I have few enough
pages that worst case I can cut and paste if necessary and
auto-conversion would be a nice to have rather than essential.

You might try another option: add the old repository to sources.list
and install that version. Other software should not be affected by this
trick since the version numbers are higher. But after installation of
the package the extra repo can be removed to avoid disturbance. Be aware
this way there are no security updates for that package. The idea can
be improved by security considerations and apt pinning.
