We used Luiz' lpack library http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/#lpack for a Lua 5.1 project and when I recently upgraded the project to Lua 5.3, it continued to work fine with no modifications.  I haven't used LuaJIT, so I can't speak for that.  

Based upon the pack / unpack functionality in Lua 5.3, I'm guessing that it is based upon Luiz' original library.
