Probably, it's going to be at least another week. I don't want to hold things up, so an alternative would be to provide a minimal patch for the current version in the debian package. If needed, I can work on this tonight; Jonas would then need to upload a new version with the patch.Hold on -- I recall now that there were two issues. One was the UTF8 issue, which is easily fixed with a small patch. The other is that pandoc 1.3's use of TH seems to prevent it from compiling on several architectures. That can't be fixed with a small patch, but will be fixed in 1.5. Given this, maybe I should just try to finish 1.5 quickly?
There's no need to rush too much, I guess we can just remove pandoc from testing so as to not hold up the migration. [Can we?]
