This is not my project but it looks very interesting: https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis All packages are built using Samurai (a Ninja-compatible tool in C) based on build scripts in a Lua DSL. For instance this is the source for the Lua package: https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis/tree/master/pkg/lua (and yes, they package 5.2...). -- Pierre Chapuis
