Source: editline Version: 1.12-6.1 Severity: wishlist
There is a new release (1.16.0) available from github. It seems there is no release tarball for that version, looking at <ftp://ftp.troglobit.com/editline>. The latest release tarball appears to be editline-1.15.3.tar.xz, which is still significantly newer than the version in Debian. Some software fails to build with the libeditline version currently in Debian (1.12), such as the nix package manager [1], version 2.2.1, both due to apparently missing API and missing pkg-config support in editline 1.12 (the latter can be worked around, but then compilation fails due to the mentioned API issues).
