Package: haproxy Severity: normal Control: tags -1 patch Dear Maintainer,
haproxy still depends on lua5.3. However, as per https://www.lua.org/versions.html, lua 5.3 is no longer maintained upstream. Moreover, the upstream "INSTALL" and "Makefile" files currently present in the pristine sources suggest that Lua 5.4 is the haproxy preferred Lua verson. Although there are mentions to 5.3 under doc/*, these seem to be outdated and seem to refer back to HAProxy 1.6. Lena Voytek patched HAProxy in Ubuntu to use Lua 5.4 with the snippets below. Is it time to move to Lua 5.4? diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index d3f060e7..449c195d 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Standards-Version: 4.4.1 Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12), libpcre2-dev, libssl-dev, - liblua5.3-dev, + liblua5.4-dev, libsystemd-dev [linux-any], libjemalloc-dev, python3-sphinx, diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules index 49f56c38..84d21cfa 100755 --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ MAKEARGS=V=1 \ USE_SLZ=1 \ USE_LUA=1 \ USE_PROMEX=1 \ - LUA_INC=/usr/include/lua5.3 \ + LUA_INC=/usr/include/lua5.4 \ EXTRA=admin/halog/halog ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS),linux) -- -- Athos Ribeiro
