Knowing John, you could probably just ask the developer to make this split upstream.

OK, I've opened an issue in the upstream bugtracker: http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/issues/detail?id=126

Excellent!

The split can be easily done using cabal or using runhaskell, from John's comment on issue 126 in pandoc's bugtracker. I've prepared two packages: haskell-pandoc and pandoc. haskell-pandoc depends on the ghc toolchain and the other haskell libraries; it also depends on pandoc. pandoc contains only the binary 'pandoc', some helper scripts and the manual pages. Thus the pandoc package only needs to depend on gmp and zlib. Doing `pactree -u haskell-pandoc` (pactree is in pacman-contrib) gives the dependency chain of haskell-pandoc as: ghc gmp gcc-libs glibc kernel-headers tzdata texinfo ncurses findutils gzip bash readline libedit haskell-utf8-string haskell-zip-archive * haskell-binary * haskell-digest * zlib haskell-zlib pandoc Of these the * ones are not yet in [community], but they need to be if pandoc is to be updated to 1.1. -- Abhishek
