Can't Download Luarock (Vert) #33

Closed pop closed 9 years ago

pop commented 9 years ago

I have tried downloading the vert rock from the moonrocks site but for some reason I get this output:

$ sudo luarocks install --server=http://rocks.moonscript.org/manifests/luarocks vert

Error: No results matching query were found.

It seems like this rock can't be found on the servers. When I manually search on the moonrocks site it shows up just fine and I am able to download other rocks just fine (I tested by running luarocks install ao and that grabbed the ao rock just fine.

I can install the vert rock just fine from source but now I'm curious why this rock is having problems and not others.

Appears to be there now. Did you figure out your issue?

pop commented 9 years ago

@leafo The package is there but I can't install the package through the luarocks cli.

leafo commented 9 years ago

What version of lua is your luarocks using? Just run luarocks without any arguments and it's on the bottom.

pop commented 9 years ago

@leafo This is what that output gives me:

CONFIGURATION
Lua version: 5.2
Configuration files:
    System: /etc/luarocks/config-5.2.lua (ok)
    User  : /home/eli/.luarocks/config.lua (not found)

Rocks trees in use: 
    /home/eli/.luarocks ("user")
    /usr ("system")

Again, installed another package with the luarocks cli no problem (if you count using sudo as not a problem, that's just my installation path which is no biggie).

Your version of luarocks is for lua 5.2 but the module is restricted to installing on 5.1 only.

pop commented 9 years ago

@lefo Ah! Gotcha. I'll upgrade vert for the newest version of lua.

Looks like it was done but never uploaded: https://github.com/aconbere/vert/commit/4a5cc38a6b73bdbc68bb58c00be4e9db10180383

The package is currently orphaned on luarocks.org. Maybe @aconbere would like to take it over?

pop commented 9 years ago

@leafo I can take over that project if we need a maintainer. I just checked the source for vert-0.0.3-2.rockspec and it specifies "lua >= 5.1" as the dependency and things kinda just work with lua 5.2.

leafo commented 9 years ago

I'll wait to hear back from the author. I updated the module on the luarocks account on the site so it should install now with no additional work.

pop commented 9 years ago

@leafo I checked it out, installed without a hitch. Thanks!

@leaf is there anything you still need from me? On Feb 22, 2015 12:03 PM, "Elijah Caine" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hey @aconbere, if you log into http://rocks.moonscript.org and link a github account from the settings page you can automatically take ownership of any lua modules that are part of luarocks. That way when you publish new versions you can upload them directly to you account. Thanks
