Hello there!

I'm the luarocks mantainer, finally got some freetime from work and I
intend to upgrade my packages, but i've got a question on how to
handle multiple lua versions. From what I could gather, slackbuilds
kinda estandardize on Lua 5.4.x as the default, but Luajit (5.1.x
compatible only) is still available. So how do you prefer to solve
this? I've got a prototype script here that can detect available
versions and generate a luarocks-version file for each interpreter
found, but i'm kinda uncertain about this approach. 

Would it be considered a good way to solve this? Another question, is
the package update process still going thought the forms, or some
other way, like the official git form?

Thanks in advance,
