there is an issue about the portability of the lua bytecode .
Suggestions ?
In any case, the patches are not for TeXLive 2022 .
Even with a patsh (not sure which one i only see akira mentioning the
size of a blob) it is not guaranteed to be portable and formats are
already not portable (endian wise) so why bother ... just make a new
format, right? We've dealt with it for > 15 years so ... anyway, Karl
doesn't mind if nothing changes so we're not really in a hurry ...
indeed not for upcoming.
Btw, can't windows 32 be compiled with 64 bit pointers? Does the same
issue occur with the mingw binaries?
