due to popular demand - find attached an ebuild for version 1.4.12 of lighttpd

Something wrong with the ebuilds? I've just installed lua-5.1.1
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124719). After that I tried to install
1.4.13 using the attached 1.4.12 ebuild (USE="lua" emerge lighttpd) and got:

--

checking for LUA... configure: error: Package requirements (lua >= 5.1) were
not met:

No package 'lua' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA_CFLAGS
and LUA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

If I remove the lua dependency and install the newest lua (<5.1) from portage
tree, it compiles just fine.

A slight correction to the previous comment. I was not able to pass through the
configuration checking with any version of lua when emerging lighttpd-1.4.13
with lua use flag. Lighttpd-1.4.12 compiles fine with the latest lua from
portage with and without lua useflag. Lighttpd-1.4.13 compiles only without lua
use flag set. It always fails in the econf stage, when --enable-lua is set.

Jari-Matti: As i explained in the lua 5.1 ebuild thread a little earlier -
there are no DSO's built, which makes it hard for lighttpd to link against lua.

Ok, no problem. The regressions in 1.4.12 aren't that critical. I can probably
backport most critical fixes from svn trunk if needs be. Currently 1.4.11 is
unusable because it somehow corrupts the webdav headers (using lighttpd as a
webdav proxy for apache2), but 1.4.12 works fine.

FYI: lighttpd 1.4.13 released
http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2006/10/10/release-lighttpd-1-4-13

dev-lang/lua-5.1.1 is in portage (but hard masked!).

lighttpd-1.4.13 compiles fine here.

Nobody added any status information, so I'll just do it: lua-5.1.1 is no longer
hardmasked and lighttpd-1.4.13 has been in the tree (hardmasked) since
yesterday (Jan 7th).

1.4.13 in the tree now.
