Description Roy Bamford gentoo-dev 2019-02-19 20:43:57 UTC
luajit-2.1.0_beta3 is the first version to support arm64
Please add to ::gentoo as arm64 is getting more popular.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using arm64 hardware, a Raspberry Pi 3b will do, attempt to build  dev-lang/luajit. Notice that arm64 is not supported

2. Got to http://luajit.org/ Observe the News item

LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 has been released
    LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 is available for download.
    This is the third beta release for the new v2.1 branch. Apart from various fixes, the major new features are JIT compiler support for x64 in GC64 mode, ARM64 and MIPS64. 

3.
Actual Results:  
Described above.

Expected Results:  
luajit-2.1.0_beta3 is in ::gentoo but hard masked, so we can test on arm64.

Hacky patch to ebuild.  Its not up to ::gentoo standards but it builds luajit-2.1.0_beta3

LuaJIT v2.1.0-beta3 is also required in certain cases (I forget the details) when running a games-action/minetest dedicated server to avoid crashes.

Here is more details:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18263

LuaJIT v2.1.0-beta3 is needed if Minetest needs more than 2 GB RAM, which is required if you use a lot of mods with the game (either when using single player or when running a dedicated server for players to connect to).

added without keywords, if the arm guys want to have it keyworded because it is the only version available, feel free to add.
