Some time ago I took a look at hooking lua53 flavors in the ports that support it. It turned out that some ports were already broken with particular versions of lua (the most common errors are missing functions at dlopen time, and module() errors), yet they were hooked up.
So it's not just about adding lua53 flavors, but about having a consistent ports tree. In the end, I think that lua.port.mk should stop populating FLAVORS automatically, so that people hacking on lua have to explicitely enable the lua versions they tested. Just like for python.port.mk. The diff to explicitely add FLAVORS / hook them up is not ripe yet, but first I'd like to know if people object to the proposal above. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
