[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#758310: libuv-dev: Current debian libuv version makes NeoVim compilation fail

[Mark Caglienzi]

Package: libuv-dev
Version: 0.10.27-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
as a vim user I wanted to experiment with NeoVim, compiling it by myself.
libuv it's a requirement and neovim compilation stops with this error:

neovim.git/src/nvim/os/fs_defs.h:8:3: error: unknown type name ‘uv_stat_t’
   uv_stat_t stat;  ///< @private
   ^

uv.h doesn't have the definition of uv_stat_t.

I looked in the github repository of libuv, and found that uv_stat_t definition
was introduced in March 2013 (as can be seen in this page:
https://github.com/joyent/libuv/commit/499c7976c613ba0291f55d8f2ff69434fbc4c950
)

The github repository lists tagged versions up to 0.11.28, while the pts here
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libuv tells that the new upstream version is
0.10.28 (that doesn't have the commit I linked above).

Kind regards,
Mark
