Dear MathJax maintainers,

Debian's MathJax is out of date (2.7.9), and I've noticed that some packages
have had to start to resort to bundling a 3.x release.  Please package
v3.0.5 or newer.

MathJax v3 is a complete rewrite of MathJax, and it is incompatible with
MathJax v2 [1].

So MathJax v3 needs to be packaged as a new source and binary package,
therefore this bug is RFP, not a request for upgrade.

Actually, an RFP was already filed, so I am merging this bug into that.


That makes sense if MathJax v2 will remain part of the archive :-)

I am not going to do it myself because I don't have any nodejs or typescript
skills (the source code [2] is using them now), but if you or someone else
who reads this believes they can handle it, please do it.


Sounds good!  Likewise, MathJax is too important for me to make it my
first nodejs or typescript package, while also lacking skills for truly
responsible maintenance :-)

Xavier, I noticed that you tagged this bug as pending, but I couldn't
find the package in the archive, or in the NEW queue.  Maybe there is
not-yet-uploaded work somewhere?

Hi,

I'm going to build mathjax3. It will conflicts/breaks mathjax. Is it OK for you ?

Cheers,
Yadd
