Hi,
I'm playing with an idea of building lua libraries against compat-lua to
allow luajit working with them. My initial motivation for this is that
there are projects which don't work with Lua-5.2 and developers for
various reasons don't want to port it to lua-5.2 yet (for example
Prosody package).
I would imagine it to work the same way as Python2 vs. Python3 does. It
means to build the project twice - once against "lua" (lua-5.2) and once
against "compat-lua" (lua-5.1) using single spec file.
I've done some test with lua-expat and I'm attaching patch against
lua-expat.spec to show how it could be done.
I'm OK with creating bugs and patches against some basic lua modules
(basically the ones I need myself for Prosody :) ), but at first I
wanted to ask Lua people here what do they think about it?
Regards,
Jan Kaluza
