Hi,

I would like to propose downgrading mpv to lua5.1.
lua5.2, which is the version currently used, only has a few reverse
dependencies left and could be removed from the archive.

I will implement this as a team upload if nobody objects.

Thanks,
Bastian

lua5.1 is the package that is orphaned while lua5.2 isn't. I will not
downgrade mpv to an orphaned version that is even older.

Please stop.

Cheers

Hi Sebastian,

mpv is now the only lua5.2 user that is not also built for other lua
versions (taking deferred uploads into account). I would like to remove
lua5.2 from forky and have taken the responsibility for lua5.1.

Thanks for your re-consideration.

In that case I will take over maintenance of lua5.2

As luajit has added lua5.2 compatibility, would you be okay with
switching to luajit as an alternative?

lua5.2 is now exclusively being kept in the archive for mpv.
