Description

OpenResty's maintained branch of LuaJIT. Note that these packages do not have "Provides: luajit" intentionally, as they are only meant to be consumed explicitly, e.g. by OpenResty's NGINX Lua module. Thus the libname is as per upstream, luajit2. If you want to link against luajit2, use, e.g. pkgconfig(luajit2). LuaJIT implements the full set of language features defined by Lua 5.1. The virtual machine (VM) is API- and ABI-compatible to the standard Lua interpreter and can be deployed as a drop-in replacement. This RPM was obtained from extras.getpagespeed.com

Built for AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux and RHEL.
