Well, having participated to writing some documentation, I am not sure that this number of differences is that vast. Mistune, on itself, was not that big a project in terms of features, and getting a grip on the new version should not take that much time. > There also seems to be a complete lack of guidance from mistune > upstream on how to port projects from 0.8.x to 2.x: do you think any > effort will be spent by mistune upstream to provide any such > documentation? without it, i'm afraid 1 month is not enough > (anecdotally, the 2.x upload in unstable was a little more than a > month ago, and i dont think any upstream project mas ported to it, so > that should provide some guidance on how long to wait to make it RC) Okay, lets go with 3 months from Jan the 15th so April the 15th. If things seem to go faster than expected I will maybe contract that schedule. (let's say if two thirds of the deps are up-to-date upstream on March the 1st I'll come back to the initial schedule) Would that make sense for you? >> Last but not least, do you have appropriate tooling to file bugs against >> mistune reverse deps a bit more efficiently than "mail by mail"? > > `mass-bug` from devscripts Ah right, I never used it, it's about time. :) Thanks! -- PEB
