Source: luabind
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

There are number of issues with the version of luabind in Debian. The
homepage given is no longer available and hence I guess even the
upstream sources are no longer available.

I have been trying to work with couple of upstream games which use
liblua and have been made aware of few different forks which would be
more preferable to the current one available in Debian.

See 
https://bitbucket.org/allacrost/allacrost/issues/55/luabind-uses-deprecated-auto_ptr
for details.

It may also prove to be helpful in removing some of the lintian errors
as can be seen
in https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/robe...@connexer.com.html#luabind

It may also be profitable as far as maintainance is concerned if
liblua was part of the debian-devel-games team and you being part of
the team.

I  took the liberty of see if there were any reverse-builds of the
various build-depends which may hinder having conflicts but didn't see
anything which might make it difficult, at least to my untrained eye.

I used apt-rdepends --build-depends libluabind* | less basically all
the differnt libluabind library binaries to see if I could find
anything but seems it would be a self-contained transition without any
huge transition costs as can be seen in
https://release.debian.org/transitions/

Look forward to the new version in Debian soonish (hopefully with the
auto_ptr patches done).
