New to Void. 2 questions

Hi folks,

yesterday I installed Void on an old Vaio notebook, just to see how it 
behaves. I must say, I'm impressed. Installer and packet manager are about 
the fastest I've ever seen, and not being forced to use any bloated desktop 
manager is very nice exüerience. My favourite combination IceWM + ROX was 
up and running within seconds. 

What I miss is the latest version of my favourite programming language, 
Lua. Current version is 5.3.0. I could compile it myself, but I would 
prefer to have an official package. Will that be available in the near 
future?
Another question: Is there any way to find out which package contains a 
certain program or library? 

Greetings,
Bernd

Hi,

- currently there's only lua 5.1 and 5.2, probably will add 5.3 in the next 
days.
- xbps-query -o /usr/bin/foo (for installed packages)
- xbps-query -Ro /usr/bin/foo (for packages in repositories)

Cheers
