Description
Lua 5.2 is a different version of Lua language, not (fully) compatible with 5.1. Lua 5.2 is not widely supported (yet) by existing Lua modules.
It should be possible to user to have Both versions of Lua, 5.1 and 5.2 installed on the same machine.
Auto-upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 has a good chance of breaking things up — which happened on my box. Please disable this.

Can we make 'lua51' and 'lua52' coexist?

Can we at least have a macport for Lua 5.1, separately? Right now there's lua@5.2.1 and lua50@5.0.3, so a lua51@5.1.5 would be great.

I submitted ticket #42901 to track that as an enhancement request. Perhaps if that's done we can close this ticket #40421 as well as #40423?

There's a new lua51 port, check ticket:42901#comment:7 , howewer the lua-* ports will still be depending on lua port and therefore on the latest stable.
If you want to keep your default lua version to 5.1 you have to pinpoint 5.1 by creating your local repository as explained here.
I'm closing this as invalid since it's not clear what the problem is, reopen the ticket if you can provide more detailed info.
add:
We cannot "disable auto-upgrade" because of how MacPorts works.
What could be done instead is provide a set of versioned lua-* modules so that they could all coexist with different lua versions. This would require a certain amount of work and the port are mostly non-maintained at the moment. So patches are welcome, as always.
