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.
I started to build a list for lua library which are compatible to lua5.2:
Great !
- luaposix
- luabitop
- lua-zlib
- luaexpat
- luajit
- luasql (luasql-mysql)
Otherwise:
- luabind (no yet)
I think that support for lua 5.2 were included in the Luabind repository:
See https://github.com/luabind/luabind/commits/0.9
- 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.
I would vote to use the project name. If I found a project that provide
something that could be useful in my code on the web and want to know if
there is a corresponding package in Arch it is natural to search for the
project name.

Here is an updated list of packages which need to be bumped. Built
from 3 search.
- expac -S %N lua|tr " " "\n"|grep -v ^$
- pkgfile -isd /usr/lib/lua/|cut -f 2 -d /
- for i in core extra testing community community-testing ; do sogrep
$i lua.so; done

It's about 50 packages.
Just to make sure, are all those packages not listed in your previous
mail compatible with 5.2 ?
Cheers,
Stéphane
