I started to build a list for lua library which are compatible to lua5.2: - luaposix - luabitop - lua-zlib - luaexpat - luajit - luasql (luasql-mysql) Otherwise: - luabind (no yet) - lualogging (no yet) - luakit (no yet) - luafilesystem [1] - luasocket [2] - luasec (no yet) - luarocks (in progress [3]) It's a bit longer for all packages and I will need help from maintainer. Do you think using the name of the library in filesystem instead of project name is a good idea? e.g: lua-lfs instead of lua-filesystem.
