Feature Request: Optional neovim/neovim-release support

Open Davidyz opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The official neovim builds are built against a fairly recent glibc, while some servers (mostly compute servers) have very old environments where the latest stable neovim wouldn't run.

Describe the solution you'd like Optional (opt-in via an interactive dialogue and/or configuration) support for https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases which builds against glibc 2.17.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually download and install from https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases, which is a lot more troublesome.

Additional context N/A

Seconding this as it seems to be as simple as replacing the download_url's in /scripts/neovim_download.sh. Could add an option to allow users to specify a root directory which defaults to neovim/neovim, then you'd just need to set it to neovim/neovim-releases and everything else should be fine..?
