Package: mkdocs Version: 1.6.1+dfsg1-2 Severity: serious mkdocs is kind of in turmoil. an incompatible 2.0 release came out. it was covered by the mkdocs-material folks in:
https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/blog/2026/02/18/mkdocs-2.0/ and led to them rewriting mkdocs from the ground up into a separate project called zensical, which has a RFP in #1145065. it's not fully backwards compatible with mkdocs (yet) nor will it be byte-for-byte identical anyways. Another view of the collapse was documented here in March 2026: https://fpgmaas.com/blog/collapse-of-mkdocs/ So other folks have forked mkdocs. The most promising seems to be properdocs: https://properdocs.org/ There's a little bit of drama in the background of how it was created, visible here: https://github.com/orgs/ProperDocs/discussions/1 In there, you can see that properdocs folks actually took over the mkdocs pypi namespace for a while, and the zensical maintainer has called out properdocs maintainers for "acting in bad faith" in: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/issues/8581#issuecomment-4198060422 zensical maintains a timeline of this fiasco in: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/blog/2026/02/18/mkdocs-2.0/#august-2026 Still, it looks like paperdocs is the best maintained (or most well-known?) mkdocs fork out there and perhaps we should just switch to it. Either way, mkdocs is currently unmaintained and I don't think it should be released in Debian 14. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.107+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mkdocs depends on: ii fonts-font-awesome 5.0.10+really4.7.0~dfsg-4.1 ii ghp-import 2.1.0-3 ii libjs-bootstrap5 5.3.5+dfsg-4 ii libjs-jquery 3.6.1+dfsg+~3.5.14-1 ii libjs-lunr 2.3.9~dfsg-2 ii mkdocs-get-deps 0.2.0-2 ii python3 [python3-supported-min] 3.13.5-1 ii python3-click 8.2.0+0.really.8.1.8-1 ii python3-importlib-metadata 8.7.0-1 ii python3-jinja2 3.1.6-1 ii python3-livereload 2.7.1-0.1 ii python3-lunr 0.8.0-1 ii python3-markdown 3.7-2+deb13u1 ii python3-markupsafe 2.1.5-1+b3 ii python3-mergedeep 1.3.4-4 ii python3-packaging 25.0-1 ii python3-pathspec 0.12.1-1 ii python3-pyyaml-env-tag 0.1-3 ii python3-watchdog 6.0.0-1 ii python3-yaml 6.0.2-1+b2 ii sphinx-rtd-theme-common 3.0.2+dfsg-2 mkdocs recommends no packages.
