sudo port install pandoc

is what I was using. It takes forever and then fails. I did a little digging and noticed that there was a [+]stack: Use stack to build variant. So, I:

sudo port clean pandoc
sudo port install pandoc -stack

to see if that works. It's still building :).

Thanks for the tip on the fetch fails,

Will

Hi,

It's unclear if you tried

sudo port install pandoc

or to build it

sudo port -s install pandoc

Should install version 3. Sometimes fetch fails at all the sites, but that is rare, and you just try again, and usually it resolves itself.

 Hi,

I'm trying to get pandoc to install. I get these messages:

:info:archivefetch ---> pandoc-3.0_0+stack.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified :msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch pandoc-3.0_0+stack.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/pandoc

And, sure enough, that tbz2 file doesn't exist on my filesystem, or at the url listed.

So, no pandoc :(.

If it matters, I'm on Mojave and just (re)installed macports on my system (cleaned out /opt/local, rm'ed macports, the X11.app, etc). It's version 2.8.0...

Is there a way I can work around this or is this an issue that needs attention by the macports folks?

Thanks,

Will
