Compatibility with Pandoc 2.17.x?

[mfhepp]

When installing from conda-forge, I get complicated dependency conflicts, which seem to stem from the fact that pandoc-plot requires a Pandoc version <2.17:

Package pandoc conflicts for:
pandoc=2.17.0.1
pandoc-plot=1.4.0 -> pandoc[version='>=2.11,<2.17']

Is that a true dependency or something than can be fixed by simply updating the meta-data?

[LaurentRDC]

It's an oversight! I will update the metadata

Pandoc has a pretty loose relationship with versioning so I'm erring on the side of caution

[LaurentRDC]

Ok I have merged the changes, it should be possible for you to install pandoc-plot with pandoc 2.17 in ~ 1h maybe?

Thank you for your patience

Thanks a lot! It seems conda does not find the new build, as it bears the same version number (disclaimer: I am by no means a conda expert):

Trying

conda env create -f mini.yml

with the following mini.yml

name: mini
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - python>=3.8
  - pandoc>=2.17
  - pandoc-plot>=1.4.0

stops with unsatisfiable conflicts:

$ conda env create -f mini.yml

pandoc[version='>=2.17']
Note that strict channel priority may have removed packages required for satisfiability.

I cleaned all conda caches (conda clean -a) beforehand.

My guess is that conda cannot see that the new build is a higher version and still tries the old one:

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pandoc-plot/files?version=1.4.0

shows two 1.4.0 tar files:

Or there is some caching in the ecosystem that I do not understand.

Maybe a new version number 1.4.1 would do the trick?

Any ideas? And again a huge thanks for your super-swift support!

Addendum:

conda search pandoc-plot -c conda-forge still only finds the old build, as the build tag h694c41f_0 indicates:

Ok, this was just a caching problem in the Conda ecosystem - the fixed build is now found and installed properly.

Again, a big thanks!
