Indeed that looks good. We'll need to include Ryan in this discussion, he's the maintainer of the official RPMs for RHEL. I'm purposely not CCing him as I know he's very busy this week, but I sense that we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel here. Regarding Lua, it is among the packages which don't move fast and which present very little long-term risk, so it can very well be included as a static dependency if not supported in certain distros. I've already been wondering whether or not we should include a local copy of it into the haproxy source code, but I really hate doing this. I'd rather help packagers build it locally in fact. Thanks, Willy
