Dev version and latest binary at the same time

Dev version and latest binary at the same time

[Denis Maier]

Hi,

is there a recommended way for having the dev version and the latest 
official version installed at the same time? How can you still use the 
official version in a production environment while tinkering with the 
dev version?

Best,
Denis

I'm using Docker to fix specific versions. We provide images for pandoc
2.6 and later (although I recently realized that we haven't published
2.10.1 yet). I rely heavily on Makefiles and put the path to pandoc in a
variable:

    PANDOC_VERSION ?= 2.7.3
    PANDOC ?= docker run --rm -it -v $(PWD):/data -u $(id -u):$(id -g) pandoc/latex:$(PANDOC_VERSION)

    %.pdf: %.md
      $(PANDOC) --output=$@ $<

Then I can run

    make my-doc.pdf

for a normal build,

    make my-doc.pdf PANDOC_VERSION=2.9.2.1

to use a different published version, or

    make my-doc.pdf PANDOC=local/dev/pandoc

to use a local version.

The easiest thing to do would be to rename the dev version
binary as pandoc-dev or something.

Looks interesting. I really have to look into docker... Is there a neat 
introduction / tutorial somewhere?
