I would like to update some packages so that pandoc can be updated.
/Lots/ of packages would need to be updated to update pandoc to its
latest upstream (2.18). It is currently on 2.9.2.1.
To make the task simpler, I intend to update the dependencies so that
it can be bumped to 2.10.1, and then keep working up.
I've prepared filestore for upload. This is a bump from 0.6.4 to 0.6.5.
However, it removes the -data binary. This is because it has been
removed upstream as it is baked into the main binary (see changelog[1]
and relevant commit[2]).
I was a bit unsure if a removal bug needed to be filed for this?
The developers reference says:
There is one exception when an explicit removal request is not
necessary: If a (source or binary) package is no longer built from
source, it will be removed semi-automatically. For a binary-package,
this means if there is no longer any source package producing this
binary package
That would seem to mean that a removal bug doesn't need to be filed --
is that correct?
