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

[Luca Bruno]

Package: libuv-dev
Version: 0.10.28-1
Followup-For: Bug #758310

neovim should better check (maybe through pkg-config) which 
version of libuv it is building against.

Debian is currently only shipping the stable branch 0.10, 
while from your report I seem to understand that neovim is
instead using the 0.11 development branch.

Please note that 0.11 is just a stabilizing branch for the 
forthcoming 0.12, and both are not API compatible with 0.10.

As it involves a soname bump and a new packages through NEW,
the experimental 0.11 will never be part debian.

However, the 0.12 release is approaching [0] and there are plans 
to have both 0.10 and 0.12 versions shipped with jessie [1].

Cheers, Luca
