If we remove the Lua module, it will break existing installations
that depend on Lua. Adding the separate Lua module back in later
will result in some... problems.<br>
<br>
If we go and do a separate lua packaging as well, we need to go
through ITP and NEW again for a separate source package, and we need
to make sure that the current NGINX maintainers are kept identical
in the new packages as well. We will also need a DD to give us dak
permissions for ftp-master upload permissions too.<br>
<br>
I'm not against removal of the Lua module, but if we're going to do
that, we're going to have to do so carefully.<br>

Hello,
<div class="">I am sending information about the conclusion from
the last experimental version 1.22.0-2~exp3.<br class="">
The goal of the testing was to verify how a separate lua module
works.<br class="">
And the second was to test the migration to the PCRE2 library.</div>

<div class="">Good news:</div>
<div class="">- The standalone lua module works as expected,

<div class="">If it's ok, I will prepare exp4, which will have
