pandoc
by Abhishek Dasgupta 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hi, I don't understand why haskell-pandoc has ghc and all these haskell-* packages as dependencies. Surely some of them are only makedependencies, right? Also, I think pandoc should remain in [community]. However, the haskell overlay is already providing packages for haskell-pandoc. A possible solution is to adopt haskell-pandoc and its dependencies, moving them to community, while adding a replaces=(pandoc) and provides=(pandoc) to haskell-pandoc. Another thing I noted is that the pandoc 0.46 PKGBUILD in the haskell overlay misses a depends=(gmp) (namcap shows it's required). So the packages from the overlay can not always be used as-is. Regards, -- Abhishek Dasgupta
