mkluatexfontdb stopped working with LuaTeX 0.65 beta #22

Closed mengelbrecht closed 13 years ago

mkluatexfontdb seems to be incompatible with luatex 0.65 beta

As mentioned here: http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2010-December/002353.html

"* Luafilesystem has been updated to 1.5.0. NOTE: there is an incompatible change in the directory iterator method."

This could be the cause for this error:

> mkluatexfontdb
luaotfload | Updating the font names database:
luaotfload | Scanning TEXMF fonts......custom/texmf-dist/tex/luatex/lualibs/lualibs-dir.lua:37: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (directory metatable expected, got nil)

Indeed, and until luatex 0.65 or newer in included in texlive (e.g. with the release of texlive2011) I don't see myself fixing it. Patches are welcomed of course.

Sorry, I did some investigating and the error is in lualibs and not in mkluatexfontdb... Closing this.

I filed a bug report for lualibs: mpg/lualibs#2
