Hi,
I’d like to propose that we eliminate the existing LuaJIT configurations with a
simple YAML format. This would be the first step towards a unified
configuration format, and I think we have to admit defeat on Lua, and do
something simpler and more normal for both developers and users.
There are only 2 (or 3) configurations using the LuaJIT configurations:
logging.config
sni.config
But, also see my other proposal of killing metrics.config, which is currently
in LuaJIT as well.
If we agree to this, we’ll remove LuaJIT as a first class citizen from ATS
v8.0.0. For the ts-lua plugin, we’ll continue to support this (of course), but
it will require an externally provided LuaJIT distribution. We already have the
—with-luajit configure option, and we’ll expand on that to auto-detect system
level LuaJIT availability.
If there are no strong arguments against this proposal, I’d like to get this
change done for ATS v8.0.0.
Thanks,
— Leif
