LUA / LUA-DEVEL Package Updates

Post by cmickels » 2014/08/17 03:58:25

Does anyone know of any near term plans to release updated LUA 5.2.3 and LUA-DEVEL 5.2.3 rpm's for Centos 7?

It's extremely unlike but not impossible. RH have a policy of sticking to the version of the package that they originally released in the x.0 version for the 10 year lifetime of the distro version. You can read more at https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
