Bug 752579 – dev-lang/moarvm: migrate to lua eclasses

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Marek Szuba (RETIRED) 2020-11-03 15:35:52 UTC]

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!

    dev-lang/moarvm-2020.11: remove unused dev-lang/lua dependency
    
    At least the more recent versions of MoarVM do *not* depend on Lua -
    neither the binary nor the shared library link against liblua.so,
    moarvm-2020.11 builds and installs fine on a system with no
    dev-lang/lua present, and having examined the source code Lua scripts
    only appear in two places:
     - in the test suite of 3rdparty/dyncall - irrelevant to use because our
       MoarVM ebuilds are test-restricted for unrelated reasons, and in any
       case that would be a *build-time* rather than a *run-time* dependency;
     - in 3rdparty/dynasm - which however are only used at build time to
       generate C code for the JIT compiler, and even then the build scripts
       use the bundled minilua (a stripped-down Lua5.1 implementation used
       to bootstrap LuaJIT, of which DynASM is a part) rather than any
       system Lua interpreter.

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