Created attachment 2365 [details] 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/)
Created attachment 2773 [details] I've updated the patches vs BR-2010.11 ping
Created attachment 3061 [details] I've updated the patches vs BR 2011.02 and bump some versions
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.
after few experiments, a rebase seems useless. patches vs BR 2011.02 are fine.
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.

Gustavo, François, what do we do with this one? Is there still a wish to move lua modules to a subdirectory?
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 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/225752/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/225754/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/225753/
Can this bug be closed now that the luarocks infrastructure has been merged?
The Luarocks infrastructure has been introduced in buildroot 2014.02, so this bug is resolved now.
