Severity: serious
Installing elpa-org package to current Debian testing (bookworm) results
in older Org version than Org shipped with Emacs. I consider it as a
really bad surprise for people who will upgrade from bullseye when
bookworm becomes stable.
Note that by filing this bug with severity serious, you are proposing to
remove elpa-org from bullseye. This might be the right course of action,
By setting so high severity I mean that this issue may require some
urgent action. Feel free do decrease it since currently the difference
is a handful of fixes.
I am against *removing* elpa-org from bookworm. I have a hope that it is
possible to submit *empty* elpa-org package and it still can be accepted
to bookworm. No dependencies will be broken, users will get a few more
fixes from built-in Org shipped in emacs-el. If a newer Org appear later
in next Debian releases (or in backports) users will get it.
Since Org has different release cycle than Emacs, I do not want blocking
possibility to have in Debian an Org version newer than Emacs built-in one.
Almost unrelated to bookworm (and so having less priority) issue: coming
Emacs-29 will have built-in Org-9.6 and difference between versions will
be substantial. Benefits of empty elpa-org in comparison to outdated Org
will be more important.
This bug is also duplicate of #1033400, but that bug (for now) has
different severity.
I am sorry for that. I did not noticed it. Feel free to merge these bugs.
