I'm willing to<br>
try to port it to a newer version of V8. The issue with libv8 has<br>
always been that Google refuses to define a stable API, and they do a<br>
new release every day (no joke). So it's very hard to program against<br>
that.<br>
<br>
That said, Fedora is now shipping v8 6.7.17<br>
<a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/v8" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/v8</a> (in addition to<br>
<a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/v8-314" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/v8-314</a>). So if Debian would<br>
ship a version of V8 with a similar version, I will try to update the<br>
R package to support this API.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Please read the full bug report, and TL;DR:</div><div>the best thing to do that i don't do because i lack time, is to package the v8 version</div><div>that is in nodejs (10.15 at the moment, soon in testing).</div><div><br></div><div>It will profit from the hard work upstream nodejs do to keep ABI-compatibility across</div><div>nodejs versions, with the bonus of having security fixes backported.</div><div><br></div><div>Jérémy</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>
