Indeed. It seems that Jonas (libsass's original maintainer) is quite conservative with upgrading libsass, probably wary of breakage, though it is understandable as it seems to be the time of Debian buster's freeze and imminent release. I am glad that Jonas did package 3.6.1 in experimental, as it does help my preparation of libsass 3.6.3 much smoother. And indeed, to this day, node-node-sass (node-sass upstream) is still not compatible with libsass 3.6.3, and the upstream authors cite "it is a volunteer project" as the reason for having no time line for the upgrade... Thankfully, node-node-sass can be built with its embedded copy of libsass 3.5.5 for the time being. My impetus is to get the latest Hugo, which requires libsass 3.6.3, into Debian (and Ubuntu). And everyone seems to be saying that libsass 3.6.3 solves some significant security issues, and we are in relatively early stages of bullseye cycle, so I'd say, let's be bold and upgrade and break things!

You are very kind, thank you for your generosity! I have done a "gbp push" to your repository, and I will do a dput upload soon, like now. :-) > > Please let me know soon, especially because I would like to solve all > > remaining libsass 3.6.3 upgrade issues, hopefully in time for Ubuntu > > 20.04 LTS release. > > No worries, thanks a bunch for all the work and kind mail. Thank you so much for your kind words and for maintaining the Python binding for libsass! Cheers, Anthony
