Solving the problem of pandoc and gitit binaries taking so much space, would require splitting the packages in two. Right now haskell-pandoc and haskell-gitit are packaged with binaries and modules inside, and the module part depend on all the other packages, including GHC. If we split each of them into two, say pandoc (binaries) and haskell-pandoc (modules), then you could just install the binaries without having to depend on GHC.
Thanks, that's the information I was looking for. I hadn't understood that pandoc and gitit could be split in different parts from their regular installation instructions. How does one do so?
IIRC, the regular installation doesn't support it (i.e. via Cabal). What we need is specific recipes to package tools and lib parts into separate packages, i.e. a split package. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
