Hi,

Sorry for the question, but I'd like to understand if pandoc-bin in AUR offers something the new pandoc in community doesn't.

Try to find out what compile options does the upstream -bin one use or ask on pandoc mailing list. BTW, http://pandoc.org/installing.html links to a nonexistent AUR package instead to the brand new pandoc package from the repos.

It sounds the old AUR package "haskell-pandoc" pointed by "http://pandoc.org/installing.html", which is no longer available, is the same new community "pandoc" package. How complete or incomplete is that pandoc package I wouldn't know. Installing from source uses "cabal", whereas the PKGBUILD for pandoc uses "runhaskell" directly with several options. I'm not a haskell guy, so I can't tell, but it seems that pandoc plus other community pandoc packages, might be equivalent to the pandoc-bin in AUR... I'll just try it out. Thanks all, -- Javier
