SASS is deprecating the ability to use a / (slash) for division.

[CodeAsm]

During site deployment, i get deprecation warnings. Similiar to the suggested fix here:
#705 seems to indicate the same issue im having

remote: 
remote: Recommendation: math.div($spacing-unit, 2) or calc($spacing-unit / 2)
remote: 
remote: More info and automated migrator: https://sass-lang.com/d/slash-div
remote: 
remote:     ╷
remote: 134 │   padding-left: $spacing-unit / 2;
remote:     │                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
remote:     ╵
remote:     ../../../../minima-2.5.1/_sass/minima/_base.scss 134:17  @import
remote:     minima.scss 48:3                                         @import
remote:     /home/[snip]/git/site/assets/main.scss 1:9       root stylesheet
remote: DEPRECATION WARNING: Using / for division outside of calc() is deprecated and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0.

running the suggested command wont work remote, as these codes are inside the downloaded template. I would love to get rid of minima, but seeing its a default template and pretty minimal, this needs fixing for more people. Whatever a default would be, more people stumble upon this problem right?

I've been getting the same:

@cdcooksey This has been addressed on the master. There are no plans to ship a release in the near future.

You have multiple options at your disposal:

• The root cause of these warnings are from jekyll-sass-converter-3.0.0 which uses a new implementation of Sass. You can edit your Gemfile to use only jekyll-sass-converter-2.x. Or you can continue using the v3 of sass-converter but disable these warnings via your config file:

  # _config.yml
  
  sass:
    quiet_deps: true

• Another route is to use the unreleased version of the theme directly from the GitHub repo using the jekyll-remote-theme. However, do note that the unreleased changes include numerous breaking changes and will continue to incorporate more breaking changes until release.

Thank you providing a workaround, it was annoying to see the warning on every build. Looking forward to the next release!

Appreciate your clear response @ashmaroli. I have been searching for an answer on this issue.

This has been bothering me as well until finding this. Not being familiar with Jekyll or Sass much then presented with immediate errors first run with bundle exec jekyll serve is unnerving. Add maintenance cost immediately. Coders love it when things are failing and flimsy and need fixing from the get go. Right? Seems to me there should be a release. This is a mental blocker of an issue that doesn't need to confront every new user, instills lack of trust in the product immediately and looks bad.

Just my 2-cents. I do love Jekyll. Seriously. A lot.

[joshbuker]

This seems perfect for a patch-level release, considering it causes deprecation warnings unless suppressed.

Ah, there are breaking changes currently merged into main. Considering there is an easy workaround, it makes more sense why creating a patch release for this is a low priority. It would have been a good idea to keep those breaking changes out of main until they were ready to ship, but that's a lesson for the future.

We have temporarily hidden the warnings in our build (raspberrypi/documentation#2866) but would definitely appreciate an upstream fix. Yes, it's not crucial, but it is a horrible user experience.
