lua: updated from 5.1 to 5.3 work3
Is this a well-planned and well-tested update, or does it feel "rushed"
to get it done before the netbsd-7 branch?
I think this was as planned and as tested as Lua 5.1 import. However,
maybe, I'm missing something.
I don't see any recent
discussion in public mailing lists.
It was discussed on tech-kern [1] and also on icb/irc.

Thanks. I had forgotten about that discussion.
Two things that bothered me were that the version appears to be
a pre-release, not the official Lua 5.3 release, and that the
import is being done a very short time before the netbsd-7 branch
is planned to be created. What I see in the brief discussion in
tech-kern is reassuring, so I have no objection to this update.
Also, if this doesn't get reverted for being rushed, then
please import it on a vendor branch as per the usual practice.
Did you mean moving it from -current to a specific branch?
No, I mean using "cvs import" the way we usually do it. I'll explain
in more detail in a private message.
