Please forgive the noobish question, but what’s going on with a document converter that it gets such frequent updates (and by extension forces a ton of Haskell updates)?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think it has to do with the way the Haskell packages are disturbed. So if you installed the pandoc from
extrarepository, and there was an update for any of the Haskell packages that pandoc depended on, then pandoc will have to be updated again. Meaning, instead of pandoc forcing Haskell updates, it is the other way around.If you only use pandoc and don’t normally program in Haskell, check out pandoc-bin. This way you will only get updates for pandoc itself and its dependencies won’t force an update.

Oh! That makes much more sense.
Haskell packages are dynamically build in arch repos, so they’re a huge mess. Use this instead: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pandoc-bin
A lot of bug fixing and updating libraries and dependencies it seems:
That only shows one release per month or so, though. I’ve gotten 4 this week alone.
