Hi Jérémy
Now that r-cran-v8 seems to be working great with libnode-dev, perhaps
the old libv8 should be removed from sid? Today I was working in sid
and I noticed that apt still prefers the old v8 over the libnode-dev
virtual package when installing libv8-dev as a dependency.
Alternatively, instead of removing the old libv8 alltogether, you
could push a mini-update for the old package such that libv8-3.14-dev
no longer provides libv8-dev, but libv8-3.14-dev keeps existing in
sid. Thereby there will only be one libv8-dev in sid, which is the
libnode-dev virtual package. However if people really want the old
package for whatever reason, they could still install libv8-3.14-dev.
Thanks for the tip, i'll do that !
In the process of doing that, i realized libv8-3.14 is no longer building from source
and may require a lot of work to get it to.
There is now only one package depending on libv8-3.14: uwsgi-plugin-v8
so i'd rather remove libv8-3.14 entirely.
