Using this package will waste instead of save disk space if:

  • You're a haskell developer and need the shared libraries/compilers/etc. anyway.
  • You have >10 other statically-linked haskell packages around the same size as Pandoc (in which case you'll get a saving from making them all dynamically linked).

Neither of these scenarios is particularly likely.

That's not quite true; the total size once installed is still nontrivial. Here's the output from pacman -S pandoc-citeproc for me: resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Packages (59) ghc-8.0.2-1 haskell-aeson-1.1.2.0-6 haskell-aeson-pretty-0.8.5-2 (etc) Total Download Size: 52.25 MiB Total Installed Size: 544.46 MiB Net Upgrade Size: 493.11 MiB As far as I can tell most of this comes from ghc. In any case, it appears that pandoc-citeproc is also provided by the debian package, so I guess it might be easier to add a package_pandoc-citeproc() to your PKGBUILD.

The -static name was already taken by a defunct package. That was the first thing I tried...

Pandoc-citeproc in community pulls in a much smaller set of Haskell packages, so doing this for that package saves you only around 50MB, rather than the 700 you get from this

Could you please give it some meaningful name instead of the nonsensical "lite"... i.e. pandoc-static, pandoc-bin, pandoc-hackage, etc.

any plans for pandoc-citeproc too? same thing happened to that
