Not much we can do about pandoc, because it is in RHEL8.
texlive-* packages ... sorry ... scary nightmare after looking at the
spec file for that.
Technically, I believe we could have some type of epel-only texlive-*
package(s) as long as the source rpm isn't the same name as texlive.
But trust me when I say, I won't touch that with a 10 foot pole. I
will run screaming if it's even in the same building as me.
But if others want to try, as long as things don't conflict. I know
there are many texlive-* packages not in RHEL8.
My understanding is that such EPEL8 packages are build outside of
texlive-base-%VERSION.src.rpm or texlive-%VERSION.src.rpm source
packages, for EPEL8 its an texlive-extension package. Than Ngo has
build the initial EPEL8 src.rpm package [1]. Maybe this is less a
nightmare.
Fedora:
rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}|%{SOURCERPM}|%{VENDOR}\n' texlive-lacheck
texlive-ucharcat

RHEL8
rpm -q --qf '%{NAME}|%{SOURCERPM}|%{VENDOR}\n' texlive-lacheck
