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!
USE=system-lua is masked for this package (it is not compatible with lua-5.1) so while it will eventually have to be migrated to the correct eclass, it does not block the migration to slotted Lua. Resolving this as NEEDINFO as a substitute for LATER, same as with other packages in the same situation.

Against lua5-4, src_configure dies with "configure: error: Use of included lua disabled, and no lua found from system" Note: USE=system-lua is still masked for this package, leaving it up to its maintainers to unmask it.
