I know that there is this issue:
http://issues.guix.gnu.org/39798
And it was closed because Guix wants to stay with the LTS version of
Haskell.
But I need to use some features that come in later versions of pandoc.
A few of my static site generator projects break because I need features
that come after 2.7.x, which is the version that Guix packages.
Can someone explain to me how to package the latest pandoc just on my
own computer?
Thanks.

The first step is configuring a development setup as explained in "info
'(guix)Contributing" sections.
Then you'd want to update the version and source fields with the new
version details (guix hash -rx on the checkout or guix download
https://tarball-url) to retrieve the new hash.
Then you'd summarily review the new sources for important changes such
as a change to their licensing. A Changelog or NEWS file can be helpful
to understand what has changed, if available.
Then you'd start iterating on building the new package with something
like:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build pandoc
If it's your lucky day it'll build without any change; but if it's a
major update you might have to modify the inputs or even update them in
prior commits.
Good luck!
If you have further questions, please ask on the help-guix@gnu.org
mailing list. I'll close this bug, as this tracker should remain focus
on actual bugs rather than update/packaging requests.
Thanks,
Maxim

Hi,
In addition to Maxim's words. :-)

You can create a variant of the current 'pandoc' package and then use
it via "--load-path" or via your own channel or directly in a manifest
file or via "guix build -f your-variant.scm". Well, (at least) 5
ways; it depends on your needs. :-)

Please ask on hel-guix@gnu.org or guix-devel@gnu.org if you need help.
