[Pkg-sass-devel] Ruby SASS -- Compass

[Nick]

Hi Jonas,

What I'm trying to do is develop a website on Drupal 8.  This uses twig
which needs compass, which is something to do with sass, which runs
on ruby, which I wouldn't otherwise touch with one of those poles that
the Dutch use to avoid getting their feet wet.  The whole edifice is
a house of cards, and someone keeps nudging the table.  Don't the
compass people talk to the ruby people?

Sass hadn't worked for nearly a year on my system until I made this
patch (I've had other stuff to do) then we reverted to 3.2.19 before I
could even get the patch to you. (/me frustrated)  But testing was also
reverted, and experimental went sailing off to the latest version
oblivious. (/me very frustrated)

I've had to stick with 3.2.19 to get some work done.  It would be nice
to have the option of using the 3.3 series, but I've had to change my
code to work with the 3.2 series.  So I won't be testing 3.3.9 until I
have a stable option I can go back to.

If I have the version I was working on, 3.3.[2|3]? I could test
experimental knowing I had a reliable fall-back.

Sorry I can't be more help -- I need a stepping-stone to get from
3.2.19 to 3.3.9 -- the dyke is too wide.

Regards Nick
