Bug Description

We'd like to support lua 5.2 in main only, and move away from 5.1. But some upstreams don't yet have support for lua 5.2 yet.

Related: apache bug 1323930 (lua support regression due to failed move to 5.2) and bug 1262710 (in particular comment 25) for discussion of the same issue with nginx, and of having both lua 5.1 and 5.2 in main.

Some discussion with upstream nginx here: https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/issues/343

"If as you said there are quite a few people already using ngx_lua + lua 5.1, then linking against Lua 5.2 will probably break these people's existing Lua code. Lua 5.2 is essentially an incompatible different language."

Nowadays this seems worse, as disco has all 3 main 5.x versions of lua in the repo:
andreas@nsnx:~$ rmadison lua5.1 lua5.2 lua5.3 -s disco
 lua5.1 | 5.1.5-8.1build2 | disco/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
 lua5.2 | 5.2.4-1.1build1 | disco | source
 lua5.2 | 5.2.4-1.1build1 | disco/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

Disco: apache2-bin has mod_lua linked with lua5.2
Cosmic: apache2-bin has mod_lua linked with lua5.2
Bionic: apache2-bin has mod_lua linked with lua5.2
xenial: apache2-bin has mod_lua linked with lua5.1
trusty: apache2-bin has NO mod_lua (see #1323930)

I'm marking the apache2 task as resolved.

bionic: uses libluajit-5.1.so.2
cosmic: uses libluajit-5.1.so.2
disco: uses libluajit-5.1.so.2

I also quickly grepped the nginx package source in all these ubuntu releases and there is no reference to lua5.2, just lua5.1.

... quick googling ...

Found https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/issues/343 and https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/issues/204. Looks like 5.1 it is.
