Latest exa can't be built, because missing pandoc as I already mentioned here because pandoc can't be built too. So much dependencies can't be built out of the box (need patches).

Here's the list of dependencies that missing when trying to built pandoc:

I have no idea how the build for Arch ARM packages works but pandoc is only required to build the 2 man page files. The latest release `exa` binary builds fine using cargo on ARM. Is it not possible in some way to copy those 2 built man page files (e.g. from a x86_64 build host) to the ARM package?

I was able to build exa on my machine a month ago.

The pandoc I have is the pandoc-bin package from the AUR
