tarball

The first patch create the directory package/modules-lua,
and moves all actual Lua modules into.

Each of others patches adds a Lua module/library.

All these modules are available via LuaRocks, the Lua package installer for
no cross-compiling system.
(see http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/)

Comment 3 Gustavo Zacarias 2011-04-28 14:29:39 UTC

Can you please rebase on the latest git so i can give it a spin and we can get it rolling in for the release? Thanks.

Comment 4 François Perrad 2011-04-28 21:41:50 UTC

after few experiments, a rebase seems useless.

patches vs BR 2011.02 are fine.

Comment 5 Gustavo Zacarias 2011-04-29 12:12:59 UTC

Yes, the patches work against 2011.02 but not against LATEST 2011.05-git, specifically 0001-modules-lua-move-Lua-libraries-modules.patch
Also please add a signoff message to them (git format-patch -s ...) so we can include them directly.
Thanks.

updated patch after 2011.05 release

Comment 8 Thomas Petazzoni 2013-05-26 08:08:07 UTC

Gustavo, François, what do we do with this one? Is there still a wish to move lua modules to a subdirectory?

Comment 9 François Perrad 2013-05-27 08:38:45 UTC

Yes, still a wish. See discussion, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/43365/focus=43415

I still have a Perl script which does the move.

Note, this thread ended by the need of a virtual package for lua/luajit,
which is always in the backlog, see

Comment 10 Thomas De Schampheleire 2014-02-08 20:49:33 UTC

Can this bug be closed now that the luarocks infrastructure has been merged?

Comment 11 Thomas De Schampheleire 2014-02-10 18:00:36 UTC

The Luarocks infrastructure has been introduced in buildroot 2014.02, so this bug is resolved now.
