[Slackbuilds-users] imminent luajit-2.1.x upgrade

[B. Watson]

Greetings SlackBuilders...

Anyone who has builds that rely on luajit, please check out the
luajit-2.1 branch in the repo, make sure your builds work OK.

Everything there has been tested by me and by Erik Falor (the luajit
maintainer), and everything seems to work... except haruna, which
didn't work with luajit-2.0 either, and vcmi... though that may just
be PEBKAC: neither of us has any idea how to start up a game of HOMM
3 Shareware. It behaves the same with with either version of luajit,
at least.

If nobody finds any showstopper bugs, I intend to merge the luajit-2.1
branch just before next week's update (Friday the 15th).

The plan is to keep SBo's version of luajit for Slack 15.0 at the
same version as the luajit in Slackware-current. Right now, this is
2.1.1727870382 (which is a git snapshot; the 1727870382 is the UNIX
epoch timestamp of the commit). We don't plan to update this until Pat
updates the one in -current (if he does).

Between this and the lua 5.4 update last week, we shouldn't have to
worry about anything lua-related breaking when Slackware 15.1 releases
and we migrate the repo to it.
