Hi Mo, Paul, did you see any improvement with luajit2 ? I was looking at luakit, which still fails "silently" on ppc64el, a lua script generating a .h with no symbols with luajit2, where it does work with lua. Also I see that the autopkgtest of knot-resolver still fails on ppc64el. F. On Thu, 19 May 2022 22:14:01 -0400 "M.
