Hello,
Version 5.2 of lua is out since December 2011 [1] and last update
since June 2012.
I suggest[2] to update our current lua package to 5.2.1 and introduce
a new package lua51.
As we need to rebuild and update dependencies of some packages, we can
benefits to adopt a clean naming (like for python) for lua libraries
like
- lua-lfs for lua 5.2 version, where "lfs" is the name in the lua require.
- lua51-lfs for 5.1 version.
for current package lua-filesystem.
Example:
pkgbase=luafilsystem
pkgname=(lua-lfs lua-lfs51)
The goal is to drop lua51* package once all package will only needs lua 5.2.
I currently have a lua (v5.2.1) and lua51 (v5.1.5) packages on my
computer which works correctly.
The following packages are out of my hands:
seblu@brynhild ~ $ for i in extra testing; do sogrep $i lua.so; done
celestia
gnuplot
graphviz
gvim
lighttpd
nmap
pdns-recursor
rrdtool
vlc
weechat
wireshark-cli
seblu@brynhild ~ $ for i in community community-testing ; do sogrep $i
lua.so; done
awesome
btanks
cegui
edje-svn
electricsheep
elinks
fillets-ng
geany-plugins
grafx2
hedgewars
highlight
highlight-gui
libquvi
luabind
lua-zlib
megaglest
notion
stone-soup
task
widelands
xmoto
widelands
As there is not so many packages to update in community, I can do it
myself. I need some helps for those in extra/core.
Comments? Objections?

[2] I'm not a lua expert, I use it only with awesome, so please tell
me if you see something bad.
Before looking at the package names, I would like to see the list of
packages that are not compatible (no patch available). For packages in
this list, it could be interesting to look if upstream devs are still
active and if they have plans to move to 5.2. If not, we could simply
drop them or rebuild them without lua support when possible.
