Description : Pure Lua extensions
Upstream description:
Alien is a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) for Lua. An FFI lets you
call functions in dynamic libraries (.so, .dylib, .dll, etc.) from Lua
code without having to write, compile and link a C binding from the
library to Lua. In other words, it lets you write extensions that call
out to native code using just Lua.
I maintain GNU Zile in Debian. Upstream currently works on a
reimplementation of Zile in Lua which seems to become "Zile 3".
This library seems to be a dependency for that rewrite.

It is awesome you package zile 3!
I'll put these lua libs in a git repo so that you can tell me if
they works soon.

My idea was to try to get it working, see how mature it is and then
maybe upload a package to experimental. But besides the missing
build-dependencies, the upstream build system still looks quite buggy.
Had to patch configure.ac and multiple Makefile.am file which aren't
called that name. I hope that will get better.

Bart, when do you finally stop messing around with bug reports you
have no idea of (and probably have never read)?!?
This time Cc'ing the MIA team since you haven't reacted on _any_ of my
probably dozens of complaints in the past few years about your so
called "QA" cron jobs despite they seem to cause more harm then they
do good.
MIA team: In case Bart doesn't reply at all (what I expect given my
experience so far) and gets removed, please make sure that _all_ his
obviously unmonitored-running cron-jobs on qa.debian.org get
deactivated rather quickly. TIA!
Regards, Axel

Well, I'm often quite glad those cronjob exists, as they have closed a
ton of totally stalled requests over the years.
They might need some tuning, but they are mostly sane, IMHO. In this
particular case, it closed a RFP that had no messages over 5 years,
which is fine IMHO.

He already is in the MIA list of people to poke at…

I think that if that was going to happen I would be taking over those
cron jobs, so you might want to instaed state your case better.
