Title:
No lua 5.2 support
To manage notifications about this bug go
nginx:
trusty: lua 5.1
xenial: lua 5.1
bionic: uses libluajit-5.1.so.2
cosmic: uses libluajit-5.1.so.2

trusty: apache2-bin has NO mod_lua (see #1323930)
I'm marking the apache2 task as resolved.

andreas@nsnx:~$ rmadison lua5.1 lua5.2 lua5.3 -s disco
lua5.1 | 5.1.5-8.1build2 | disco/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386,

lua5.2 | 5.2.4-1.1build1 | disco | source
lua5.2 | 5

"If as you said there are quite a few people already using ngx_lua + lua
5.1, then linking against Lua 5.2 will probably break these people's
existing Lua code. Lua 5.2 is essentially an incompatibl
