I would like to preface with "I have no idea what I was doing" but I was able to get it to compile with these changes from master seam345@89e6e47

$ nix-shell -p haskellPackages.pandoc-cli -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/seam345/nixpkgs/archive/89e6e477c8357a087e863db562d2fa8d9fe5ba29.tar.gz
$ pandoc --version
pandoc 3.1
Features: +server +lua

This may be helpful to the person who actually understands how all the Haskell things work todo it properly, or if someone just wants to grab it from my branch for now :)

The trouble with seam345@89e6e47 is that pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix is routinely auto-regenerated, so changes made there by hand will be quickly lost. pkgs/development/haskell-modules/HACKING.md describes the auto-regeneration process.

The auto-generation pulls version information from stackage. Pandoc versions in stackage:

Resolver	GHC version	Pandoc version
lts-19.33	9.0.2	2.17.1.1
lts-20.11	9.2.5	2.19.2
lts-20.12	9.2.6	2.19.2
lts-20.16	9.2.7	2.19.2
nightly-2023-04-02	9.4.4	3.0.1

When i try various ways of following the HACKING.md process, I get these failures:

I don't know where to go from here.

History: 2022 Nov: Latest pandoc [2.19.2] does not build

Trying another tack:

So this way seems to get much closer, but still doesn't quite get there.

[undefined-moe]

Now it's pandoc 3.1.2 with typst support added :)

[turion]

I'm completely puzzled by string-qq-0.0.4 and Error: Setup: Encountered missing or private dependencies: text >=1.2 && <1.3. string-qq doesn't even seem to depend on text.

[disbolog]

Pandoc's Jgm has updated the flake in repo's root, would that be of any help?
jgm/pandoc#8818

[camillemndn]

Hi, if like myself you don't want to wait for Pandoc to get updated, this solution works:
https://github.com/camillemndn/nixos-config/blob/main/pkgs/development/tools/pandoc/default.nix

[sternenseemann]

#240387 will contain the update for nixpkgs.
