Hello, could you package pandoc? Pandoc is an universal document converter. Thanks in advance. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Assigning to packagers collectively. This piece of software will be packaged only if a packager volunteers to maintain it.

I support this request, pandoc is a very useful converter and it would be nice to be able to use it natively. It needs haskell to build from source though, and I'm not familiar with it at all.

I second this request, see https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=11684

I'd like to add that the missing pandoc also hempers the rstudio package, since pandoc is now expected to be available to rstudio and many export options throw errors when pandoc is missing.

I would love to have Pandoc in Mageia, too. It is a useful package to convert documents from various formats to other formats. Thank you.

I found that PCLinuxOS already have it. You can try to rebuild their src.rpm. Here it is: http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/srpms/SRPMS.pclos/pandoc-1.16.0.2-1pclos2016.src.rpm

We have to compile all from source. And this is not a small job. You have first to prepare haskell and then compile pandoc with it.

There is a newer pandoc (2.7.3) in fedora too: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pandoc/blob/master/f/pandoc.spec; latest is 2.9.1. The spec file seems to be generated automatically with cabal-rpm. We have cabal-install which should provide cabal-rpm at version 1.16 (FC has cabal-install 2.0.1, latest 3.2.0). So probably it could be started from cabal-install.

Because I absolutely needed pandoc, I installed it thanks to the binary package for amd64 architecture provided on the GitHub page of the project: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/2.19.2 (pandoc-2.19.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz). It works essentially well, except the issue I reported at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8392, and more specifically (with a step-to-step procedure) at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8392#issuecomment-1287253530, the problem being: > [WARNING] Could not load include file child.tex at parent.tex line 1 column 53 which arises with Mageia 8 but doesn't arise with other Linux distros. I'm not sure it is worth reporting this as a separate bug on the Mageia bug tracker and if it is helpful here. But, since it seems to be uneasy for the Mageia team to provide a pandoc package, it would be nice if it could help to understand what's happens with this binary package :) Thanks.

Never mind: the issue I reported had to do with some customization of LaTeX and is now fixed.
