Hmm. Only use cases I have involve use of some kind of local fork of pandoc-data - and that doesn't really count, now that I think of it. I have now changed package "pandoc" to depend on "pandoc-data", in git. - Jonas P.S. It still holds true that when there _are_ use cases - even when few of them - the proper relation is recommends rather than depends. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
