| Port: | ghc hs-platform-ghc pandoc |
Description
I'm trying to build the "pandoc" port, which depends on "ghc" and "hs-pandoc-types", but "hs-pandoc-types" depends on "hs-platform-ghc".
ghc and hs-platform-ghc are incompatible, so "pandoc" doesn't install. I assume this is temporary, that one of the ports (probably "ghc") is deprecated. I'd like to use "pandoc", so I'm requesting a cleanup to get this to work.
Thanks! Jason

Thanks Cal,
The dependency error is transitive, pandoc -> hs-pandoc-types -> syb. AFAICT, the only "syb" package is "hs-platform-syb", which depends on "hs-platform-ghc".
So maybe the real error is not what I reported, but that the package "syb" is simply missing. However, trying to get hs-platform-syb to stand in for it might be a problem, and leads to this issue of ghc vs. hs-platform-ghc.

Pandoc is necessary for the nbconvert program that allows ipython notebooks to be exported in a variety of formats. It would be great if this could be sorted:)

Syb doesn't have any complex dependencies, a quick fix for this would be to just create a syb-devel port that
is not dependent on the haskell-platform-ghc (because it really isn't)

Pandoc was updated in r104342; not sure if that fixes this though

My
hs-pandoc-typesport does not depend onhs-platform-ghc. Did you modify yourhs-pandoc-typesport?The
ghcandhs-platform-ghcports are not deprecated; the ghc currently in the haskell platform is older than theghcport (and provided inhs-platform-ghc). The ideal solution for this problem would be to install the haskell-platform ghc using a pre- or suffix, e.g. ashs-platform-ghc, so theghcandhs-platform-ghcports would no longer conflict.A different solution for the problem would be to only provide the haskell platform, or to stop providing the haskell platform completely (which the haskell community apprently does not encourage).
