Thanks for pinging/nudging, Paul. Upstream project has restructured to now be organized as multiple projects to be built as dependencies of each other. I had hoped to be able to orchestrate such chain-of-builds internally in the single source package, but the Haskell build helper tools seem to be in too bad shape for that: Apparently all Haskell packages use CDBS which is quite cumbersome to use for "looping" subtasks, and both of the two available non-CDBS debhelper tools existing in Debian are broken. I therefore give up on that approach, and see no other way forward than to introduce the libraries of Pandoc as a new source package, and then have the existing src:pandoc package depend on that to build the binary. I will now file an RFP for that new dependent package, in the hope that the Haskell team can adopt maintenance of that. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
