LuaJIT.org 404 when downloading tarball

[benwilber]

It appears that LuaJIT.org has stopped publishing release tarballs on their website.

No Release Tarballs or Binaries
LuaJIT uses rolling releases. There are no release tarballs available for download.

Please do not use obsolete versions from older tarballs or zip files. Please remove any outdated links to these downloads — these links will cease to work soon.

In the meantime, I've just switched to testing against OpenResty's LuaJIT distribution.

Hey Ben, what's the fix you went with to solve this? I've got this in my actions file, is there an easy fix or can you recommend an alternative action?

      - name: Install luajit
        uses: leafo/gh-actions-lua@v10
        with:
          luaVersion: "luajit-2.1.0-beta3"

I just changed my workflow to use OpenResty's LuaJIT distribution. It's the same as the standard LuaJIT, which is based on Lua 5.1, except they've back-ported a few things from Lua 5.2 as well.

Just change your luaVersion to luajit-openresty.
