Description Martin Hoyer 2023-07-31 11:21:01 UTC

Description of problem:
python3-markdown package in CRB repository is at version 3.3.4.

3.4 introduced new features and bugfixes. Note also the backwards-incompatible changes: https://python-markdown.github.io/change_log/release-3.4/

3.4.2 release from earlier this year introduced move to PEP-621 and requires setuptools>=61.2, which is afaik unlikely to get into el9 any time soon, if ever.

With that in mind, would it be possible to update the package to version 3.4.1?

Comment 2 Tomas Popela 2023-08-02 12:20:17 UTC

Hi Martin, we have python3-markdown in RHEL 9 only because it's a dependency of gobject-introspection, see https://tiny.distro.builders/view-rpm--view-eln--python3-markdown.html (ELN, but it applies for RHEL 9 as well) and we're not interested (nor have the capacity) to do any work on that package (and risk that gobject-introspection might broke) hence I will decline this request.

(In reply to Tomas Popela from comment #2)
Thanks for looking into it Tomas. I understand.

Knowing the context, it's still strange not to include the 3.3 bug-fix releases to me. Especially when they include things like "Support Python 3.10".

    Disallow square brackets in reference link ids (#1209).
    Retain configured pygments_style after first code block (#1240).
    Ensure fenced code attributes are properly escaped (#1247).

Nov 17, 2021: version 3.3.6 (a bug-fix release).

    Fix a dependency issue (#1195, #1196).

Nov 16, 2021: version 3.3.5 (a bug-fix release).

    Make the slugify_unicode function not remove diacritical marks (#1118).
