Package: src:python-lupa Version: 1.6+dfsg-1 Tags: patch pending --
Dear maintainer, I see that python-lupa misses libluajit build dependency on several architectures, and that it's supposed to be compatible with lua, so wouldn't it make sense to rely on liblua in case the build dependency libluajit is not available ? Also on ppc64el, the future of the luajit port is unsure (there also a FTBFS on ppc64el for python-lupa).. so at some point if ppc64* support is dropped from libluajit, we would still have a python-lupa (but working this time). I tried a simple patch and it builds and run tests fine on ppc64el. Regards. F.
