Hi,

there is no official package naming guideline for lua packages in Fedora
[1].

Similarly to python2/python3, there are two version of lua: lua and
compat-lua. There is currently inconsistency in the package names for
compat-lua packages. Example:

compat-lua-lpeg  vs.  lua-cqueues-compat

This makes it difficult to search for lua packages and preferably, there
should be just a single naming scheme. Based on a discussion with
maintainer of lua-lpeg and lua-mpack [2], we've agreed to use the naming
scheme compat-lua-*

If you're a maintainer of a lua-*-compat package, please use the new
naming scheme along with Provides for backward compatibility [3].

If anyone has the rights to edit Package naming guidelines [1], please
document the proper way to name lua and compat-lua packages.

Thanks!
