It's not just a copy but a patched version of discount having two fixes for what we need now for new features in Cantor to be released in 19.12. This is the work done during Nikita's GSoC project this summer, details in https://sirgienkogsoc2019.blogspot.com/2019/07/markdown-and-support-of-embedded.html https://sirgienkogsoc2019.blogspot.com/2019/07/improved-rendering-of-mathematical.html
The two patches are not incorporated by the upstream yet. For the first, the pull request is not accepted yet. For the second, a discussion with the author was required that didn't happen because of his unresponsiveness. > Having copies of third party code will be a a real pain in the ass in the > future. Yes. After 19.12 we'll check what to do with this - try to re-initiate the discussions with discoun't author, fork discount and maintain it or use a different library. For 19.12 we need to bring https://cgit.kde.org/cantor.git/commit/? id=febeff84b016a6f4c93acf45783e7604419a08b4 into release/19.12. Here we don't use any tar archive to avoid problems on build systems where LANG is not set: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2019-November/011629.html https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410802 asturm mentioned yesterday in Matrix/IRC one or two other packagers who reported this problem, too. And we also added a README file to document the content of the thirdparty folder in Cantor. Regards, Alexander
