[pkg-lua-devel] Bug#942569: cjson: Package is lacking a version for lua 5.3

[Jan]

Package: lua-cjson
Version: 2.1.0+dfsg-2.1
Severity: important
File: cjson

Dear Maintainer,

the package currently comes with support for lua 5.1 and 5.2 but
lacks a library for lua 5.3. I noticed because weechat-lua was
recently updated and a script that relies on cjson failed with
these errors:

10:49:39 =!= | lua: unable to execute file "/home/jan/.weechat/lua/autoload/matrix.lua"
10:49:39 =!= | lua: error: /home/jan/.weechat/lua/autoload/matrix.lua:48: module 'cjson' not found:
10:49:39     | no field package.preload['cjson']
10:49:39     | no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.3/cjson.lua'

10:49:39     | no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/cjson.so'
10:49:39     | no file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.3/cjson.so'
10:49:39     | no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.3/cjson.so'
10:49:39     | no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.3/loadall.so'
10:49:39     | no file './cjson.so'

Compiling cjson with liblua5.3-dev fixes the problem.

Regards, Jan
