Support for Deno Version 2

[detroyejr]

The Nixpkgs repository dropped support for Deno version 1 within the past week which means quarto is being built with version 2 (Bug report where this is discussed NixOS/nixpkgs#349444). Based on #10809 and #10773 it sounds like this isn't really a trivial version bump, but I wanted to put this on your radar and see if there's a timeline all the same.

If there's anything I can do to help move this along too, just let me know. Thanks!

Dependencies are updated, at most, once per release.

Edit: why did you open an issue if you saw that one was only tracking this?

---

Any bugs reported are the responsibility of the maintainers of the Nix build, which utilises incorrect dependencies and not solely Deno. The maintainers should clearly disclaim that the Nix Quarto package is not official, and any bugs should be reported to them first or replicated in an officially supported environment. Furthermore, they should disclaim that it is a custom build and may not be reliable.

To be clear, providing such wrong build is damaging especially without warnings to users.

Thanks, your comment here and on the other issue thread was helpful.

The one issue was about a number of things and hard to find so I figured opening a focused one would be fine. I'll link next time.

Let's keep the discussion here.

There's no timeline and the required changes will be very large. Deno 2 drops support for two tools that we fundamentally need in our packaging: deno vendor and deno bundle. Deno churn has been a constant source of toil in our repo and this will be the largest one yet. We hope to get it done at some point in 2025, but it's hope, not a promise.

[detroyejr]

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to respond to yet another deno issue.

Yeah - we'd love to do it, but I don't want you to go down the rabbit hole only to realize much later that it's a huge task, and we can't justify the amount of resources required to support NixOS and other niche third-party packagers.
