[Pkg-leofs-devel] Bug#858803: erlang-cowboy: Cowboy 2.0 != Cowboy 1.0

[Chris Pacejo]

Package: erlang-cowboy
Version: 2.0.0~pre.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

For some reason, erlang-cowboy source has been updated to point at Cowboy
2.0.  This renders the package unusable, since Cowboy 2.0 is a
backward-incompatible API rework (even the name of the "start library"
function has changed).  This package should be reverted to point at the
latest Cowboy 1.x release, and a separate "erlang-cowboy2" package should be
made to track the Cowboy 2.x releases.

Furthermore, the release that this package currently points at is a 2.0
prerelease, which is missing major changes present in the latest 2.0
prerelease.  So, it is not usable even by code expecting Cowboy 2.0.
