[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#1029208: prosody: Switch to Lua 5.4

[Zash]

Package: prosody
Version: 0.12.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider switching Prosody to run with Lua 5.4 as interpreter.
This is the recommended version of Lua for Prosody assuming all
dependencies are available, which is now the case in testing as far as I
can determine.  The main benefit to Prosody is improved memory usage
thanks to improvements to the garbage collector in Lua 5.4.
