Should we revert this 2.8.0 bump then ? If you want to do that, could
you send a patch, and made add a comment in luvi.mk that explains why
bumping to 2.8.0 is useless ?

Also, luvi 2.8.0 has been causing a number of build failures:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=luvi-v2.8.0. They need to be
fixed, or indeed reverting will be the only solution.

Best regards,

Thomas
