lighttpd 1.4.12 released.
In order to use the new mod_magnet (which you want :), one will need lua 5.1. Refs #124719.

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.
(In reply to comment #6) > 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.

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.
