--- Comment #5 from andrew at tao11.riddles.org.uk ---
Having looked at the way that php and python use flavors, I think they are a
bad fit for Lua-using applications, though they may be a useful way to handle
Lua modules (which are currently doing simple PKGNAMEPREFIX stuff without using
the flavor system).

(Notably, lua is very small compared to php or python, 1.2MB code + 400kB docs
compared to something like 67MB for python2; this makes installing multiple
versions much less of an issue.)

Russell, what exactly are you expecting here? Adding a 5.4 port won't affect
any other port build unless Uses/lua.mk is updated to include 5.4 as an allowed
version or the default version.
