So it should really handle to connect to any of those.
As mentioned in my first mail to this bugreport I have some work-in-progress updates for ycmd and vim-youcompleteme on salsa [0] (unfinished, mostly untested, here be dragons, yada yada), which includes a change to built against clang-6.0 (as its what upstream builds against currently)… I could do an NMU with that change, but that would be just a stopgap solution – I would prefer a more longterm solution by figuring out what the maintenance status is in general as we "need" newer upstream versions, changes like python3 and ideally patches in other packages (upstream depends on a so far unreleased version of pybind11)… that is better done by a maintainer instead of NMUs. In practice that means we figure out if Onur is still active and has some freetime available to work on it. If so, great – I and hopefully others like you will happily support that if we can with patches or sponsoring uploads. If not it will eventually end in packages being orphaned – in that case someone (perhaps me) will hopefully adopt it and patches and stuff flow in that direction instead. Best regards David Kalnischkies [0] https://salsa.debian.org/donkult/ycmd and vim-youcompleteme forked from Debian/ycmd (and co) which I imported from alioth collab-maint.
