Is there a slotmove that can be applied?

I am afraid I do not understand the question. What do you want to move,
and why?

Currently portage is mostly lua:5.1 aware and the first thing is move
dev-lang/lua:0 to 5.1 slot by slotmove in profiles/updates:

slotmove dev-lang/lua 0 5.1

The file structure of dev-lang/lua:0 differs from dev-lang/lua:5.x,
meaning that introducing such a slot move would require Lua eclasses to
treat lua5-1 differently from other targets. In other words, we would
*still* need lua0 support but without a clearly distinct name.

So there will be a new stabilized lua:5.1 version as I proposed.
Again, here is a quick todo list:

1. slotmove dev-lang/lua
2. Change all dependencies to change from lua:0 to lua:5.1
3. Stabilize & unmask slotted version 5.1.5-r103
4. Release news & rebuild with emerge -a --oneshot $(equery depends
dev-lang/lua | awk '{print " ="$1}')

Please don't use 'equery depends' for such things. It shows what *can* depend and not what *actually* depends on a given system because of metadata shortcuts. (It won't consider USE for example.) If a library name is moving, the best tool is revdep-rebuild with the --library option with the old soname to look for.
