Hi fellow Fedorans.

I'd like to push a minor update of Lua, which incorporates a small
bugfix patch, and some cosmetic fixes to the builds script. First
testing by a proven tester has been done successfully, but I need more
testing to be able to push it, please have a look, try it and comment:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lua-5.1.4-7.fc14
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lua-5.1.4-7.fc13

Thanks,
Tim

Incidentally, any interest in getting Lua's Rocks deployment system
integrated into Fedora? Been meaning to get this done for a while,
really needs to get it off the ground. Ideally it should be like Python
eggs and Ruby gems -- we need our Lua modules to ship .rocks files so
that these modules don't get a duplicate installation in the user's home
directory.

I'll whip up a Feature page (probably we'll announce it for F-16) if
there's an interest.

Sure. That would be awesome.

I never liked these specific deployment systems and rather just built
RPMs in the first place, but if someone is willing to do and *maintain*
it: go for it!

I'll recall the F13 update, no one seems to be willing to test it, it's
EOL soon and nobody shouted loud enough for it.

I agree that it's not ideal; however, given that we have a small set of
Lua packages, it probably makes sense to focus on integrating well with
the wide range of Lua "rocks" out there.

I'll of course maintain it -- the nice thing is that we can gradually
convert our Lua packages (I don't think there's a way to automate
creation of rock descriptors, the way there is for Python eggswith
distutils).


Best regards,

How much of the metadata can be used for a rocks2spec type of utility?

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but having an attention of Lua fans ...
could somebody do something about
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551763 (most likely porting
luasec to use luasocket, IMHO)? I believe further development of Lua in
Fedora will be probably hindred by unavailability of SSL support (not
mentioning I would like to move prosody from
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/mcepl/prosody/epel-prosody.repo to
real Fedora).

Thanks,

Matěj

So lua-sec contains a modified version of lua-socket? Have you contacted
upstream about the required patches and modifications? If you provide a
proper patch, which maintains compatibility with the current version of
lua-socket, i.e. it only extends it, I'd be willing to take it into the
lua-socket package until upstream accepts the patch.

Be careful what you wish for, I ended up becoming the maintainer of
lua-xmlrpc when filing patches ;-)

OK, so I will be careful and ask somebody else to package lua-dbi (from
http://code.google.com/p/luadbi/downloads/list). It is new dependency of
new prosody 0.8 (http://blog.prosody.im/prosody-0-8-0-released/) .

Anybody? (will make a package review)
