Description Aric Belsito 2017-03-14 20:40:36 UTC

This was brought up in
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534150
by Dennis Schridde.

We need a lua.eclass to handle installation of dev-lua packages for different lua implementations, because using usex hacks to install for different versions isn't ideal.

I believe it should support at least the following:
LUA_TARGETS="lua5_1 lua5_2 lua5_3 luajit"

Hello. Current lua maintainers not interested in multislotted lua implementation (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/2264). In other side, they not provide solution for universal compatibility between lua 5.* and their modules.

Multislotted Lua is now live, so closing here :-)
