I've moved pandoc back to the AUR because the latest version picked up too many new dependencies. It was convenient to have it in [community], but it's much saner to maintain these with the automation used by the arch-haskell project.

I only use it for Rust's documentation generator, and don't want to be frequently rebuilding 30+ libraries for a language I don't use.

Our packaging standards don't make much sense for Haskell because there are little gains from dynamic linking. There's not nearly enough sharing of code for it to come close to being efficient, and no stable ABI either.

That's a shame, I am really dependent on it these days. But thanks for maintaining it until now :) -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

[haskell] unofficial repo has haskell-pandoc 1.11.1-16.

The unmaintained packages uploaded by arch-haskell guys to the AUR have been removed a couple months ago https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2013-June/023951.html

Do you want to keep the haskell packages you dropped to the AUR in the AUR because it makes it easier to move them to the official repos some time down the road or ...? Maybe the unofficial repo is enough and there's no need for the AUR packages?

1.11.1 was the last version packaged in the repositories, 1.12 is the one picking the new dependencies. I started on packaging/building them (aeson and attoparsec but not semigroups, monad-control, base-unicode-symbols, etc.) and upgraded all the existing dependencies. It wouldn't be hard to finish 1.12, but doing rebuilds whenever a dependency gets upgraded takes too much time, especially since Haskell's community is very fickle about the combinator/string/stream libraries they use.
