Somewhat belatedly, I am happy to say that the aforementioned |
14 |
monstrosity has been taken care of much faster than I thought it would |
15 |
be and since the 15th of February ALL the (unmasked) packages in the |
16 |
tree which previously depended directly on dev-lang/lua have had at |
17 |
least one stable ebuild migrated to Lua eclasses. Package maintainers, |
18 |
if you haven't done so yet (quite a few people already have) go ahead |
19 |
and remove old versions so that we can finally bid farewell to |
20 |
dev-lang/lua:0. |
21 |
|
22 |
And to think that this all has happened simply because I wanted to |
23 |
finally enable Lua support in media-gfx/darktable :-) |

Thank you SO much, everyone who has taken part in the effort of making |
26 |
Lua in Gentoo great again (sorry, couldn't help myself)! We had this on |
27 |
the agenda for way too long, and in my personal opinion the fact that we |
28 |
are now one of the few Linux (Unix?) distributions which allows the |
29 |
users to freely mix and match Lua versions is an important statement. |
