Bugzilla Bug 168792

Here we go. The situation is a bit more complex than simply slapping your
keyword on lua-5.1.1 (no open bugs so far :)

The following packages will need your keyword love, too:
dev-lang/toluapp-1.0.92 : x86, ppc
mail-filter/imapfilter-1.2.2 : x86, ppc

The following packages need a bump to cope with luas api changes:
games-arcade/stepmania-3.9 : x86, games herd: 4.0 does work with lua-5.1 but
has no released version (mask?)

I'll add to the list when i get home.

Ok, 
sci-astronomy/celestia-1.4.1-r2 : stable for adm64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, x86
dev-games/stratagus : lua-5.1 support in the works? Upstream still states they
don't do 5.1. Masking it will also affect games-strategy/bos and
games-strategy/wargus.

I've found only ion2/3 still depend on lua-5.0, but as these are only ~arch,
that is not a regression to the current situation (upgrade to latest ion3,
slackers...)

Summary: Please stable the aforementioned packages, i'll sort out the games
maskings/patches with the games team (thanks nyhm for helping me sort out the
things).

www-client/elinks-0.11.2 (newest in the tree) cannot find liblualib (it was
apparently renamed to liblua):

checking for Lua... no

It builds because it simply omits lua support despite --with-lua.

 Right, same here on x86.  All other above mentioned packages are ok on x86 and
can go to stable once all issues are spotted.

scite, swig, alephone, weechat, graphviz, yaps, kdelibs and scite find the libs
or compile fine including it (all those are with USE=lua) in stable profile.

Although kdelibs mention the following during configuration?  Is this an issue?

checking lua.h usability... yes
checking lua.h presence... yes
checking for lua.h... yes
checking lualib.h usability... yes
checking lualib.h presence... yes
checking for lualib.h... yes
checking for lua_version in -llua50... no
checking for lua_version in -llua... no
Lua 5.0 libraries were not found !

The elinks issue was new to me. Liblualib.so is indeed gone as liblua has
absorbed all it's symbols. Notice that lua-5.0 included liblua, too.
This is the faulty check from elinks-0.11.2, configure.in:
# Check that it is a compatible Lua version
AC_TRY_LINK([   #include <lua.h>
                #include <lualib.h>],
                [   lua_State *L = lua_open();
                    lua_baselibopen(L);
                    lua_mathlibopen(L);
                    lua_strlibopen(L);
                    lua_tablibopen(L);
                    lua_pushboolean(L, 1);
                    lua_close(L);],
                 cf_result=yes, cf_result=no)
That must fail, given the API changes that killed lua_open() (use lua_newstate
instead). Given their release announcement: "support for Lua 4.x was dropped,
we only support Lua 5.x now" i had expected more support for err.. x!=0.

Well, i just found this bug: http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=742
Seems to be upstream is aware of the problem, but isn't including the patch
right now. Spock, can we take the patch?

I'm not sure about the KDE thing, not even aware of a possibility of lua
scripting in it... As long as it links against liblua.a, it should be fine
though.

elinks-0.11.2 is fixed now. Thanks for the link to the patch at the Elinks
Bugzilla.

Let's ask.

sparc stable:

dev-lang/lua-5.1.1
sci-astronomy/celestia-1.4.1-r2
www-servers/lighttpd-1.4.1-r1 (wrt #168582 too)

4.0 is not released as stable yet. The problem solution would be to depend on
the (yet to come) slotted lua ebuild

Forgot to link http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159023 (this is the open
bug for this lua problem).

ppc64 stable

Stable for HPPA, except perhaps for the kdelibs problem...

I added -r2 b/c lua ships with a package config file with a prefix of
/usr/local, which means our builds never find lua if they use pkg-config.
Please stable this one instead.

 Are all issues sorted out?

amd64 stable

The issues remaining so far: stratagus seems to have a new release, which
supports lua-5.1 on the paper, but reportedly crashes.
Stepmania is still without release.

Kde, i need advice from the team. Rest seems good to go.

 Hmm, ok, maybe games should not hold back stabilisation, but a comment from
games would be nice on that.

> Kde, i need advice from the team. Rest seems good to go.

 As far as I can see this is no issue, as that check is for 5.0 and the other
detects versions above that...which is successful.

On http://sourceforge.net/projects/stepmania/ are CVS snapshots available...
and as far as I can see, they use lua 5.1

ppc stable

x86 stable and closing, somebody should have told that stepmania has been
masked
