I can add you as a co-maintainer

Yes, I write some lua packages which depend on it, so I hope I can co-maintain it.

there are however some issues with your patch

You are right!

Hey, thanks @Freed for your suggestions, and please excuse the late reply. I do not actively depend on this package anymore. If you want, I can add you as a co-maintainer of the package, or even transfer ownership.

Packaging for different versions of lua seems worthwhile, there are however some issues with your patch:

• I think lua-${_lua_name} should come first in pkgname so that its assigned to pkgbase
• someone needs to bug upstream to provide source archives with a stable checksum, we shouldn't just skip it
• _package $_lua_version is subtly wrong: it sets depends=(lua54-argparse), but lua54-argparse does not exist (it's lua-argparse)

How about provide different lua version?

❯ pacman -Ss lua51-argparse
extra/lua51-argparse 0.7.1-1
    Feature-rich command line parser for Lua 5.1
❯ pacman -Ss lua52-argparse
extra/lua52-argparse 0.7.1-1
    Feature-rich command line parser for Lua 5.2

Lost depends lua? And _lua_version=5.4?
