Description Reuben Martin 2013-04-04 00:11:09 UTC

trunk supposedly supports lua-5.2 for over a year now, but that has not been pushed into the releases yet for some reason.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Reuben Martin 2013-04-04 00:13:26 UTC

Oops, accidentally set it as dependant on lua-5.2 tracker, rather than as a blocker...

Partial Fix

Derived from git commit a957114421fd2e875432e5fde0448ffc1ae60cfd

Fixes some things, but still breaks elsewhere.

This is fixed in newer versions that are and/or will be available today in the Portage tree; so, as older versions like 2.0.5 will be masked by security bugs soon, instead of fixing this I suggest you to look into upgrading later today or tomorrow.
