Does not install with most recent version of `luarocks` #8

Closed pop closed 9 years ago

When attempting to run luarocks install vert --local (or sudo luarocks install vert) I get a response Error: No results matching query were found.

Attempting to install with luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aconbere/vert/master/rockspecs/vert-0.0.3-2.rockspec --local (a method for installing I picked up on stack overflow probably) seems to work but does not add anything to my path and is also just a sketchy way to install considering the readme claims it's as easy as luarocks install vert.

This may be related to issue #1 , but that issue has supposedly been fixed soooooo who knows.

info: Distro: Arch Linux luarocks 2.2.0 lua 5.2.3

Is ~/.luarocks/bin in your path? Adding that should make binaries callable from the command line.

I'd guess it's not showing up in a search result because 0.0.3-2 is not published. You're using 5.2, and search results are getting filtered to only rocks compatible with 5.2. Fixing the search result would require publishing 0.0.3-2.

@statianzo You were on the ball with the not-most-recent version being published. I talked to the maintainer of the moonrocks-site repo and he published the most recent version of vert because it works just fine with lua 5.2. This issue can be resolved, however @aconbere was pinged in that thread about maintaining the package since it is orphaned. I'm okay with maintaining it if nobody else wants to going forward.

This issue has been resolved for the time being.
