Description Arvydas Sidorenko 2012-06-19 18:36:39 UTC

Lua 5.2.1 is out. Even though it's hardmasked, I am sure some people are using it (me including).
As a matter of fact a big reason to bump the version is because v5.2.0 has some serious issues with garbage collector and in some applications one can lead to a very severe memory leaks. In v5.2.1 that was fixed.
More about it: http://lua-list.2524044.n2.nabble.com/Garbage-collector-behaviour-changed-from-5-1-to-5-2-tt7577559.html#none
I edited an ebuild from dev-lang/lua-5.2.0-r1 to work with new version for my personal overlay. I have attached it in case you would like to use it.

Reproducible: Always
