Description of problem: I'd like to try to update pandoc to 1.12.3.3 or 1.12.4 in EPEL7. Any objections?
Hmm, 1.12.4 may be difficult: Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: aeson ==0.7.*, highlighting-kate >=0.5.7 && <0.6, pandoc-types >=1.12.3.3 && <1.13, tagsoup >=0.13.1 && <0.14, texmath >=0.6.6.1 && <0.7, yaml >=0.8.8.2 && <0.9
It looks like https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/commit/c8f97d3d418f929a1f499a9ef37c17d71f282d45 is the bugfix I need for pypandoc that's in 1.12.4, so perhaps just backporting that will work.
Looks like too many other changes before that patch to backport cleanly.
Thanks for the request: I am thinking to do a major rebase of EPEL Haskell packages next year. Do you need this to build pypandoc in EPEL7?
Yes, that's what prompted it.
Would 1.12.3.3 still be helpful?
At this point, I don't think it's needed.
