So I'll stick with pandoc-bin, :-) Thanks to all again, -- Javier

It sounds the old AUR package "haskell-pandoc" pointed by "http://pandoc.org/installing.html";, which is no longer available, is the same new community "pandoc" package. How complete or incomplete is that pandoc package I wouldn't know. Installing from source uses "cabal", whereas the PKGBUILD for pandoc uses "runhaskell" directly with several options. I'm not a haskell guy, so I can't tell, but it seems that pandoc plus other community pandoc packages, might be equivalent to the pandoc-bin in AUR... I'll just try it out. Thanks all, -- Javier

There should be no difference except that the *-bin package was tested upstream and is guaranteed to work, whereas the repository/AUR package is built against the system libs and stuff, and should work (but occasionally doesn't). -- Eli Schwartz

Try to find out what compile options does the upstream -bin one use or ask on pandoc mailing list. BTW, http://pandoc.org/installing.html links to a nonexistent AUR package instead to the brand new pandoc package from the repos.
[aur-general] pandoc in community vs. pandoc-bin
Hi, Sorry for the question, but I'd like to understand if pandoc-bin in AUR offers something the new pandoc in community doesn't. Before, there was no pandoc package under the repos, and there was no really full solution but the pandoc-bin. However I'm wondering if that's already covered by pandoc in community now. Thanks, -- Javier
