lua port update

[andremm@…]

Lua 5.2.0 is out since Dec 16th. For this reason I'm providing an updated Portfile to lua port, as well as the necessary patches and files.

To my mind, a new port called lua51 should be created with current lua Portfile for Lua 5.1.4.

Regards, Andre

Please supply a diff of your Portfile changes. I can already see that the conflicts line should not contain commas.

A lua51 port would fit in with our existing lua50 port. But I wouldn't recommend making one, unless we think someone actually needs this. (Does anyone need the lua50 port?)

[andremm@…]

I added lua.diff. It is the diff with all changes I did.

Please, notice that I removed the comma from conflicts and left conflicts only with lua51.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

any movement on this?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Quickly glancing at the lua.diff, the $Id$ line should not be removed.

We either want numbered lua ports (lua50, lua51, lua52) and for them not to conflict with one another (i.e. for them to install files in separate directories or with non-conflicting names), or for there to just be a single lua port with the latest version. The current situation with lua and lua50 ports that conflict is an error that should not be perpetuated. The decision about which path to follow depends on whether there's a reason anyone would want older versions of lua.

perry, is there a reason to have an explicit lua50 rather than lua port dependency like in elinks-devel port?

[lperry (Perry Lee)]

It's been awhile, but iirc, newer versions of elinks don't properly detect lua > 5.0.x, which is why elinks-devel should use lua50.

If there are other ports that similarly don't work properly with lua 5.1.x, maybe we should go with numbered lua ports?

I duplicated the work here on Ticket #34830. andremm@… included a lua.pc which I've added along with updated Portfile and patches for lua 5.2.1. The updates were posted to #34830 to avoid confusion.

NB: Lua 5.2 breaks many packages, so it is not suitable as a lua port replacement.

Why is this ticket still open?

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

Because nobody closed it.

Since lua is @5.2.3 and a lua51 port has been provided as well this can be safely closed.
