Tarantool package request

[ketonik]

I'd like to make a request for Tarantool, something we hope to use in the future, to plug into Mariadb whihc can perform some reasonably complex filtering to take the load off the main database.

Not looking very positive:

• build requires a network connection and git submodules (it wants to update them). Our build system does not permit network connections during build
• embeds static copies of libraries such as luajit instead of using OS provided dynamic libraries

These are 2 major hurdles for us to package it - while it shouldn't be too difficult to run from source (there's even a dockerfile if you want to run it in a container) it makes integration rather painful and costly (we'd have to patch Lua bugs in 2 places, for instance).

I would look for a prebuilt docker solution if I were you, for now, or compile from source.

Ok thanks for checking, no issue. It's not an immediate need, planning for the future is all, using Redis for now.
