Hopefully one of the two maintainers will resume maintenance, but if not, then it's a salvaging candidate. Regards, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature

In MathJax 2.x, most of the JS files are under one of these three directories: config, extensions, jax. It looks like MathJax 3.x does not have any of them.

In MathJax v2 I simply disabled that stuff and even excluded it from the tarball: https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/mathjax/-/commit/4ace348cad6ac57c Maybe you can do the same?

In MathJax 2.x, most of the JS files are under one of these three directories: config, extensions, jax. It looks like MathJax 3.x does not have any of them. I was looking at these lists: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/mathjax2/files/ https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/mathjax/files/ > Sadly I'm not able to build wicked-good-xpath for now > (mathjax3->speech-rule-engine->wicked-good-xpath): our closure-compiler > looks too old. It's not just old, it's ancient! The version number is 20130227+dfsg1... In MathJax v2 I simply disabled that stuff and even excluded it from the tarball: https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/mathjax/-/commit/4ace348cad6ac57c Maybe you can do the same?

Maybe there is not-yet-uploaded work somewhere? Hi, I'm going to build mathjax3. It will conflicts/breaks mathjax. Is it OK for you ? Cheers, Yadd This needs to package node-mj-context-menu and node-speech-rule-engine. Note also that font-* files are no more included in mathjax-3

Source: mathjax Severity: normal Dear MathJax maintainers, Debian's MathJax is out of date (2.7.9), and I've noticed that some packages have had to start to resort to bundling a 3.x release. Please package v3.0.5 or newer. Thank you, Nicholas
