Is the pandoc package dead?
Dear Haskell maintainers,
Is the pandoc package actively maintained? The upstream authors have
recently released version 3.5 [1]. The version available in
unstable/testing is 3.1.3. Debian is severely lagging behind.
Besides that, I cannot even build the package on my up-to-date sid
system, due to unsatisfied build-dependencies.
Lots of packages in Debian use pandoc for generating man pages and this
is triggering Lintian warnings (see Bug#1068734 [2]). This has been fixed
upstream since version 3,1.7 of pandoc!
Finally, the package still uses cdbs, which is an orphaned package (see
Bug#1026085 [3]). Isn't it time to migrate to dh?
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
