Installing specific extension version #12599
-
DescriptionIs it possible to install a specific version of an extension? Especially when developing Typst extensions, which evolves quickly while the Quarto Typst version is frozen over long periods of time, it would be great if one could point the latest version of an extension that is compatible with a specific Quarto version. E.g. Typst templates that rely on v13+ features are incompatible with Quarto 1.6.X. And it seems a bit ask of developers to stay on an older tech stack that will be outdated within a year. I am on the beta Quarto 1.7 for development purposes, but my current issue is that these templates will not be useable for people until it is released as stable and they have updated - and for now that's fine, I've decided not to try to figure out the Typst v11-12 syntax differences. But for Quarto 1.8, the issue will be the same, so this is kinda trying to get ahead of that issue. It relates to this comment #12496 (reply in thread): Currently, we have to wait for the new version to land to patch the extensions, and there will be an interrim period between the Quarto release and the fixes where the extension will break. |
