Add lua to oe-core.

Add lua to oe-core.

[Randy MacLeod]

I've found that many projects use the lua scripting language.
I'd like to move it from meta-oe to oe-core:

 
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/lua/lua5.1_5.1.5.bb?h=master

http://www.lua.org/about.html

lua-5.2.2 is current, see: http://www.lua.org/download.html
so we'd likely uprev and send that version.

rpm and lighttpd could (would?) optionally depend on lua.

oe-core.git $ grep -r lua * | egrep -v 'valuat|valuable|uargp|rpm'
meta/recipes-extended/lighttpd/lighttpd_1.4.32.bb:
              --without-lua \

Any comments pro or con before we do the uprev, testing and send
a commit?

2 recipes which would optionally depend on it doesn't make it good
"core" component IMHO.

But uprev, few PACKAGECONFIGs and more testing would be nice.

I concur with Martin, if we're only talking about optional dependencies this 
should just be a case of adding the PACKAGECONFIG options to the recipes in 
OE-Core (or whereever they happen to be), with lua remaining in meta-oe.

However I am aware that lua may be a hard dependency for upcoming versions of 
stuff we do have in OE-Core (I can't recall which). We'll have to cross that 
bridge when we come to it.

Cheers,
Paul

I understand your reluctance to add bloat to oe-core but from a
users point of view a base distro should have a reasonable
collection of tools. I'll add lua to our internal layer since
we don't support all of meta-oe. We'll uprev and send meta-oe the
new recipe.

Ok. Thanks for the feedback.

Just FYI Lua 5.2 has quite a lot of changes to Lua 5.1[1].  So I wouldn't
consider it as an drop-in replacement for Lua 5.1. Simply said it's not
compatible out of the box.

For example lighttpd uses Lua 5.1.

I support updating lua if nothing breaks.

 Yes, 5.1 and 5.2 are incompatible to extend that there simply is no
way to do some things so that it would work with both (5.1 has it one
way, 5.2 has it another way, and neither understand the other) It can
take some effort to switch application from using lua 5.1 to using lua
5.2.

5.2 is not ABI compatible with 5.1 see

http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#8

so you can add a new recipe for 5.2 on
the same lines at 5.1 but don't delete 5.1
