That would be great going forward. But at this point it's a non-issue. There is a choice between lua-5.1 and luajit. Other lua versions have been masked since like forever. And I don't see that situation changing anytime soon. Or maybe one of the other lua package maintainers has plans? -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer
