Thank you, Achim. I think it is what I'm longing for. And it works. What I'd like to do is to have both lua5.3 and lua5.4 be installed, and alternatives make a symbolic link to lua5.3 or lua5.4 (new packages lua5.3-5.3.6-1 and lua5.4-5.4.2-1 which I try packaging. And I'm trying to package luarocks for lua5.3 and lua5.4 (lua5.3-luarocks and lua5.4-luarocks) by a single cygport file. Regards, Lem
