Description Robert Scheck 2020-05-04 02:29:15 UTC

Description of problem:
Please build python-pypandoc for EPEL 8. It's a build-time dependency of upcoming python-pcodedmp.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-pypandoc-1.4-12.fc32

Actual results:
No python-pypandoc in EPEL 8.

Expected results:
python-pypandoc-1.4-12.el8 - or better ;-)

Additional info:
Please let me know if you are not interested in maintaining the package on EPEL 8 branch.

Branches requested, but it looks like we're going to need pandoc-citeproc as well.  Please make a request for that as well.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2023-01-17 03:39:12 UTC

Current situation:

The version pushed to the epel8 branch fails to build with a test failure:

FAIL: test_conversion_error (__main__.TestPypandoc)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
RuntimeError: Pandoc died with exitcode "2" during conversion: Unknown option --blah.
Try pandoc --help for more information.
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tests.py", line 367, in test_conversion_error
    f()
AssertionError: "Pandoc died with exitcode "6" during conversion: Unknown option --blah" does not match "Pandoc died with exitcode "2" during conversion: Unknown option --blah.
Try pandoc --help for more information.
"

Not sure how serious this is or if it indicates we might see other incompatibilities with the version of pandoc in EL8.

1.6.4 does build fine however.  So I'm tempted to revert to that on the epel8 branch.

Thoughts?
