Description Robert Scheck 2020-05-06 00:54:14 UTC

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

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pandoc-citeproc-0.16.2-1.fc32

Actual results:
No pandoc-citeproc in EPEL 8.

Expected results:
pandoc-citeproc-0.16.2-1.el8 - or better ;-)

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

There have been a lot of delays with getting ghc into EPEL8, but the initial work is finally done.
So hopefully there will be more progress soon.

Comment 2 Nick Black 2022-03-21 10:50:33 UTC

does ghc 8.2.2 suffice? https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-c24419cb8d

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2022-06-01 19:03:25 UTC

Any progress?  Any help needed?  Thanks.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2022-06-22 05:37:32 UTC

In theory it might be quicker/easier to add pandoc-citeproc to RHEL8 CRB...

Bootstrapping pandoc in EPEL8 will still take some time I think.
Currently I am starting work on EPEL9 packages.
Though it seems EPEL8 might be more urgently needed.

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2022-06-22 05:38:30 UTC

I can just add that is it not a small amount of work:
pandoc has roughly 100 dependencies that need to be built..

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2022-06-22 05:39:28 UTC

Also I would be happy to setup a copr repo in the meantime if that is helpful.

Comment 9 Orion Poplawski 2023-01-17 05:01:30 UTC

I think we can drop this since new pypandoc's do not require pandoc-citeproc.

> I think we can drop this since new pypandoc's do not require pandoc-citeproc.

Does that require a newer version of pandoc?

Comment 12 RHEL Program Management 2023-03-07 07:27:18 UTC

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
