Package: aegisub
Version: 3.4.2+ds-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for upgrading aegisub to its latest upstream version!
Unfortunately though, the latest aegisub fails to build on some of the
release architectures, e.g. ppc64el, riscv64, and s390x, because the
embedded luajit doesn't support those architectures (build logs:
ppc64el[1], riscv64[2], s390x[3]).

OTOH, the luajit shipping in Debian does support those architectures,
which is based on a maintained fork.  Currently aegisub cannot use it
directly because it has not enabled lua 5.2 compat mode yet.  I have a
follow-up in bug#781728[4] with a MR to enable that support.  Ideally,
once that's taken care of, aegisub can drop the embedded copy of luajit
and build against the Debian luajit directly, and solve this issue.

However, if that doesn't happen soon - given that bug#781728 was opened
10 years ago - aegisub may just embed the Debian fork to take care of
the release architectures, though it would be cumbersome to keep all the
patches up-to-date.
