Name : libuv
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 1.33.1
Release : 1.fc31
URL : http://libuv.org/
Summary : Platform layer for node.js
Description :
libuv is a new platform layer for Node. Its purpose is to abstract IOCP on
Windows and libev on Unix systems. We intend to eventually contain all platform
differences in this library.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Update to Node.js upstream release 12.13.1
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.13.1/ Also fixes an issue where running
`npm -g` was risky on RPM-installed systems. Fedora's packaged NPM will now
install global content in /usr/local instead of /usr where it could conflict
with RPM-provided versions.
