moonscript-dev on org.moonscript.org is borked #90

Encountered this when test-installing the mooni rockspec on a fresh machine; 

/usr/bin/lua: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/moonscript/init.lua:15: module 'moonscript.line_tables' not found:No LuaRocks module found for moonscript.line_tables

Sure enough, no such module! So I removed it and fell back to 0.2.3-1.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. This is one of the problem with dev rockspecs. They don't upgrade well. I wish the rockspec format has a way to specify modules through a glob in a directly instead of listing them out manually. This way my dev rockspec won't become out of date when I add new files to the project.

I updated the one on moonrocks, but you can always find the most up to date rockspec on github: https://raw.github.com/leafo/moonscript/master/moonscript-dev-1.rockspec

I am always forgetting how to do certain things with the rockspec format, and I'm actually working on a little library to make writing rockspecs easier (with globbing). It should go up on your excellent self-publishing site soon!

Ah, notice that rocks.moonscript.org is down. I hope I didn't press the Big Red Button ;)

Hmm, not your fault. A hard to reproduce bug I've been trying to track down. This is the second time this has happened. For some reason modules stop loading:

app[web.1]: 2013/03/18 18:33:10 [error] 19#0: *17 lua entry thread aborted: runtime error: /app/packages/share/lua/5.1/lapis/router.lua:3: attempt to index global 'lpeg' (a nil value)
app[web.1]: 2013/03/18 18:57:34 [error] 19#0: *32 lua entry thread aborted: runtime error: /app/web.lua:10: loop or previous error loading module 'lapis.init'

Also, what do you think about updating luarocks instead of creating a new tool? I'm sure Hisham would be glad to have more people working on it. At one point I was considering writing a patch to publish to moonrocks right from the command line. (which is nice because I can also generate a .rock file there too)

Sure, he's keen but busy with other stuff. We've been recently starting a discussion on the next revision to the rockspec format. However, rockspecs remain formal, declarative specifications. There's room for tools that write rockspecs, like premake does for makefiles.
