Hi! As you can be noticed, Lua packages, just like Python, PHP or Ruby ones, supports "slotted" behaviour (with some side notes). As far as we have nice *_TARGETS for languages above (without standardised naming syntax, although), we still do not have such for Lua.
Rafael's main argument is about that fact, that Lua releases between themselves has incompatible bytecode, sometimes syntax (just as all interpreters above), and that LuaJIT has incompatible bytecode even with version it is built to be as (i.e. libluajit-5.1 bytecode is incompatible with liblua-5.1, and so on for 5.2 and 5.3). But as far as I know, it is same issues between CPython and PyPy, and between MRI and Rubinius. So, I'd like to escalate that problem, finally make some decision and finally introduce LUA_TARGETS on packages ;). -- Best regards, mva
