Hi all,

Recent rspamd releases (starting with 3.14.1) are broken with Lua 5.1
[1], which is the Gentoo default. Rspamd upstream plans to officially
drop the support for Lua versions older than 5.3 soon [2], and they
currently default to luajit.

I originally thought it would be reasonable to switch the Gentoo default
for rspamd to luajit, however, as I was pointed out by juippis, its
architecture support is limited compared to standard Lua. Moreover,
Rspamd upstream may switch the default to Lua 5.4 as well [2].

I have two questions:

  1. wdyt, should I switch the rspamd to Lua 5.4 as proposed in
     following patch?

but I am also curious:

  2. why are we still on Lua 5.1 by default? Did we consider move to
     more recent version?

Best,
Petr
