RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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".

May 5, 2022: version 3.3.7 (a bug-fix release).

    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).
    Fix [toc] detection when used with nl2br extension (#1160).
    Re-use compiled regex for block level checks (#1169).
    Don’t process shebangs in fenced code blocks when using CodeHilite (#1156).
    Improve email address validation for Automatic Links (#1165).
    Ensure <summary> tags are parsed correctly (#1079).
    Support Python 3.10 (#1124).
