1 Hello, everyone!
2
3 I noticed, that dev-lang/lua in have serious troubles in Gentoo. There no
4 Lua project, which would coordinate support. However, packages that depends
5 on lua-5.2, could not be builds successfully against installed lua:5.1 and
6 lua:5.2 [1][2]
7 Is there any roadmap for transition to slotted 5.1/5.2 packages and
8 unhardmasking? As I understand, we need to rewrite eselect-lua, or even to
9 create lua.eclass for that.
10 I can offer assistance in resolving these problems, as I need lua-5.2/5.3
11 for a number of packages.
