GHC 7.10, and popular packages like Pandoc
Hi All, Since upgrading to GHC 7.10, I am unable to build (e.g. via a straight "cabal install") pandoc, and I note it's current absence from the arch-haskell repo. I depend on pandoc in a major way, and I was wondering if anybody got it to work? I have myself fixed and submitted pull requests for some minor libraries that my own code uses (mime, iCalendar, etc) but I figure that somebody is surely working on something as prominent as pandoc? What's the lie of the land? Should I jump in and try my best? (I fear many days of pain might be involved, pandoc has deep dependencies...). I am not a Haskell expert yet. Is somebody working on these? kind regards, Dawid Loubser

The following link suggests that pandoc from git is working: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/J5lKA8LLUSI
Thanks - I built from git, and it compiles, but I haven't been able to get it running yet (missing latex templates, etc). I'm investigating... regards, Dawid On 07/04/2015 19:40, Skottish wrote:

Well, I have pandoc working again, having manually checked out and installed pandoc-templates. With it working, I imagine it's only a matter of time before an arch-haskell release :-) kind regards, Dawid On 07/04/2015 20:13, Dawid Loubser wrote:

Yeah, my goal is to re-introduce it in ArchHaskell as soon as possible after an upstream release that's buildable with 7.10.1. You are all more than welcome to help me keeping an eye on their releases. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Pandoc is now back in the repo. Unfortunately pandoc-citeproc still doesn't build with 7.10 though. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Never be afraid to try something new.

Now pandoc-citeproc's in the repo too. While at it I also closed #182 by adding pandoc-crossref. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar
