[DRE-maint] Bug#1017524: Bug#1017524: status?

[Cédric Boutillier]

Hi,

I recently looked at failures in jekyll.

Jekyll is broken in several ways in unstable due to version constraints
on the dependencies. One can easily relax the
version dependency on mercenary in the gemdeps (no changes needed).

One would need a newer version of jekyll to fix most of them. But the
blocking point seems that even the latest jekyll release requires
ruby-liquid < 5, whereas we have 5.4.

There is some issue opened upstream to try to use liquid 5.x,
https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/9094
but there are some missing pieces...

Not being a user of jekyll myself, I could not test yet if the code in
jekyll indicated in this issue is enough to make it work with liquid
5.x, if we simply relax the version dependency in gemdeps.

Cheers,

Cédric
