In order for Gentoo Linux to properly support side-by-side installation of different versions of Lua (including LuaJIT), please migrate this package as to lua.eclass (for packages which should support multiple Lua implementations at the same time, i.e. most likely Lua modules) or lua-single.eclass (for packages which only have to support one Lua implementation at a time). For details, consult documentation of respective eclasses as well as already-migrated ebuilds in the tree. Please note that since slotted dev-lang/lua is currently masked, your migrated ebuilds should be masked as well. There is a section of package.mask, created in September 2020, which you can use for this purpose so that it will be easier in the future to unmask them all in one go. Thank you in advance for your effort!

No Lua dependency in recent versions => no migration to lua eclasses necessary.
