It seems like we are still supporting lua 5.1 for legacy reasons,\nand I am happy to maintain this.\n\nSen Hastings (1):\n package/lua: re-add lua 5.2.4\n\n Config.in.legacy | 10 +--\n package/lua/5.2.4/0001-root-path.patch | 17 ++++\n .../lua/5.2.4/0002-shared-libs-for-lua.patch | 78 +++++++++++++++++++\n package/lua/5.2.4/0011-linenoise.patch | 26 +++++++\n package/lua/5.2.4/lua.hash | 2 +\n package/lua/Config.in | 7 +-\n package/lua/lua.mk | 6 +-\n package/luainterpreter/Config.in | 4 +\n package/mpv/mpv.mk | 2 +-\n 9 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 package/lua/5.2.4/0001-root-path.patch\n create mode 100644 package/lua/5.2.4/0002-shared-libs-for-lua.patch\n create mode 100644 package/lua/5.2.4/0011-linenoise.patch\n create mode 100644 package/lua/5.2.4/lua.hash" }
