Status of pandoc-templates?

Status of pandoc-templates?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2045 bytes --]



Sorry I wasn’t paying too close attention to the development of 
pandoc-templates. Hopefully this thread can serve as a note to those who 
used pandoc-templates. Probably this should be converted to pandoc wiki 
once I gathered enough information.

So from my vague memory, it seems that the “git structure” of pandoc has 
changed. Some submodules becomes git subtree. One of the consequence is the 
removal of jgm/pandoc-templates. Please correct if there’s any info wrong 
up to now.

Anyhow, jgm/pandoc-templates no longer exists. First of all, can I suggest 
we never do that? Deleting a GitHub repository has a huge consequence if it 
is the “upstream.” Right now, my fork appears to be forked from 
https://github.com/adityam/pandoc-templates. In short, GitHub will 
automatically grant the oldest existing fork as the upstream of all 
remaining forks if the original upstream is deleted. But then as an 
earliest upstream, it often are far lag behind in terms of commits of the 
original upstream. e.g. from mine I see “This branch is 282 commits ahead 
of adityam:master.” I think a better way to deprecate a project is to 
archive it (Settings > Archive this repository).

Another question is that what is the current recommended method of having 
custom templates which can receives update from upstream from time to time? 
Or do we now has a better way of managing templates (such as template 
snippets)?

But it is not a descendent of the old repo by that
name.

There were some changes. First we moved from
submodules to a subtree. Now it's just a completely
separate repository that tracks updates to the
templates. (I update it on each pandoc release.) The
canonical locations for the templates is now
jgm/pandoc.

Is the change from submodules to subtree force you to start 
pandoc-templates over? If so, I still thinks that leaving the old ones 
around just to not having those 631 orphans would be better. I also deleted 
my fork thinking it is no longer of use. Now knowing that it is still there 
I should have talking a diff. somehow to scavenge something from it.

e.g. instead of deleting pandoc-templates and replacing it with a new one 
of the same name, keeping pandoc-templates and may be having a new one like 
pandoc-templates2. This way one can take a simple git diff between their 
fork and your master and see how can one migrate to the new repo.

I hadn't intended to delete it, but got forced to do
this by bad planning.

Anyway, you can still do a diff between your local
pandoc-templates and the new repository's master.

I see. Thanks. I'll try to recover my repository and take a diff (I deleted 
it when I see the upstream is gone and turns out it is a bad planning 
too...)
