Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:51:49 +0100 Message-ID: <2450810.Lt9SDvczpP@gump> Hi, with the recent Lua changes in Gentoo, I now must somehow choose, which Lua version I should prefer. I have heard that every Lua version is mostly different (incompatible) from each other and in addition to that there is Luajit which is much faster an also supported. However, all (slotted) Lua versions in the current tree are keyworded. Portage on its own seems to choose Lua 5.1. Is there a recommendation which Lua version is a wise choice? For Python it is usually a good choice to set nothing and you get a high compatibility (3.7 is the default currently, I think). If you choose newer Python versions, you get more features but also more work with regard to setting some useflags for packages that don't support the new version yet. Is there something comparable with Lua?
