Upstream description: Alien is a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) for Lua. An FFI lets you call functions in dynamic libraries (.so, .dylib, .dll, etc.) from Lua code without having to write, compile and link a C binding from the library to Lua. In other words, it lets you write extensions that call out to native code using just Lua. I maintain GNU Zile in Debian. Upstream currently works on a reimplementation of Zile in Lua which seems to become "Zile 3". This library seems to be a dependency for that rewrite. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
