Since I did not get any response, I imported the code into a github repo; https://github.com/Tieske/pjb_lua. I'll need to look into the individual modules and then split them out to separate repo's, and then migrate the to Lunar Modules. That will most likely take some time, but for now the code remains available. regards thijs On Thu, 9 Nov 2023, at 11:28, Thijs Schreijer via Luarocks-developers wrote: > Github has a policy and indeed, as you mentioned they require formal > stuff (they responded to a support request).

Github has a policy and indeed, as you mentioned they require formal stuff (they responded to a support request). But Github has only old repo’s migrated to Gitlab, where the current code lives. Gitlab has however not responded at all (they also do not have a policy for this). I’ll give them some more time, and then I'll try again. > On 8 Nov 2023, at 00:36, Daurnimator <qu...@da...> wrote: > > Hi Thijs, Peter, > > Sorry to hear that you're not doing well. > > I recall that we failed to migrate many of mpeterv's repositories to luarocks/lunarmodules, as github demanded a death certificate/power of attorney to touch it. > > @Thijs, do you have any process in mind here when contacting github? > > D > > > > On 31/10/23 08:32, Thijs Schreijer via Luarocks-developers wrote: >> Hi Peter, >> I’ll contact their support.

Hi Thijs, Peter, Sorry to hear that you're not doing well. I recall that we failed to migrate many of mpeterv's repositories to luarocks/lunarmodules, as github demanded a death certificate/power of attorney to touch it. @Thijs, do you have any process in mind here when contacting github?

Hi Thijs, I am pleased to confirm that I am ok with you, (Thijs Schreijer, Github user Tieske), taking over my account.

Thijs, luarocks-developers I can't log in to github because my email has changed from pj...@pj... to pet...@fa... and I can't find a way to change github's idea of what my email address is. When I try, it just sends please-confirm emails to my former address. I'm close to dying, and this kind of trouble is something I really can't handle any more. I ask you: please could someone else start the discussion, noting the fact that I totally support moving my modules over to LunarModules. I also totally support any other solution which would keep these modules http://luarocks.org/modules/peterbillam available. I wish I could be more helpful ! Peter https://pjb.com.au pet...@fa...

I think you should use the number after the minus sign. Take a look at LuaSQL-MySQL driver. The last version is 2.6.0, but there are two deploy rockspecs: 2.6.0-1 and 2.6.0-2. The difference between them follows: $ diff download/luasql-mysql-2.6.0-* 2c2 < version = "2.6.0-1" --- > version = "2.6.0-2" 4c4 < url = "git://github.com/keplerproject/luasql.git", --- > url = "git+https://github.com/keplerproject/luasql.git", > I'm 75 and not expecting to last very long. > I would love other lua-people to take over ownership of my modules ... > http://luarocks.org/modules/peterbillam > .. and their man pages, seeing that pjb.com.au will vanish > when I stop paying my bills ... > Volunteers ? Some packages were moved to lunarmodules "umbrella" to distribute maintenance. Maybe your packages could benefit of it also. @Hisham?!? Regards, Tomás |

Hi Two things: If I want to change the rockspec, but not change the tar.gz at all and not change the version number, there's a way to do that, isn't there ? Do I make that rockspec change and upload it all to to luarocks.org ? Do I upload the rockspec only, or the whole tar.gz as normal ? I'm 75 and not expecting to last very long. I would love other lua-people to take over ownership of my modules ... http://luarocks.org/modules/peterbillam .. and their man pages, seeing that pjb.com.au will vanish when I stop paying my bills ... Volunteers ? Peter https://pjb.com.au https://peterbillam.gitlab.io/pjb_lua/ |

This is scary :

false
So perhaps better go from version 9 straight to version 91 ...

Another example of version numbers---version 2.10 is later than version
2.1, yet as "numbers", they are the same.

It's testing versions, not numbers, so 5.3.6 is a valid version number.
You might want to read <https://semver.org/>. While Lua doesn't following
semantic versioning per that site, it does cover how a lot of software
"compares" version numbers.

Yes :-) downloading the lgdbm-20211118.52-0.src.rock into /tmp and
luarocks install /tmp/lgdbm-20211118.52-0.src.rock
installs it just fine :-) (thanks Sean!)
One thing that occurred to me is that the rockspec specifies
dependencies = {
"lua >=5.2, <5.5" -- 20211118 to allow lua5.4
}
but devuan daedalus comes with Lua 5.3.6
and I'm wondering how 5.3.6 survives that "lua >=5.2, <5.5" criterion
seeing that >= implies a numerical comparison,
but 5.3.6 is not a valid number ...
Do I have a good way to rewriting the "lua >=5.2, <5.5" test that will
handle these NaN llua versions like 5.3.6 ?

A search of lgdbm shows that 20130702-1 is the previous version; the latest is 20211118.52 (it is, in fact, the next version from the one you have). 20211118.52 installed just fine (both Lua 5.1 and 5.4), but when I tried installing 20130702-1 using 5.4, it failed with the same warning. That tells me that 20130702-1 expects Lua 5.1, so you might need to get the latest version and try that one. -spc |

Your best bet would be to try to build it from source code and avoid LR dependency management.

Greetings again
I'm trying but failing to get lgdbm installed (on devuan daedalus) by
apt install lgdbm
or also by download the tar file and installing by hand,
but in both cases I get:
lgdbm 20130702-1 depends on lua >= 5.1 (5.3-1 provided by VM)
gcc -O2 -fPIC -I/usr/include/lua5.3 -c lgdbm.c -o lgdbm.o -I/usr/include
lgdbm.c: In function ‘luaopen_gdbm’:
lgdbm.c:263:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'luaL_register';
did you mean 'lua_register'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
263 | luaL_register(L,MYNAME,R);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| lua_register
It might have been just a matter of replacing luaL_register with lua_register
but the worrd luaL_register does not occur in the code
260 luaL_newmetatable(L,MYTYPE);
261 luaL_setfuncs(L,R,0);
262 lua_pushliteral(L,"version"); /** version */
263 lua_pushliteral(L,MYVERSION);
264 lua_pushstring(L,gdbm_version);
265 lua_concat(L,2);
266 lua_settable(L,-3);
Something very similar has happened before :
https://sourceforge.net/p/luarocks/mailman/message/33877260/
I'm 75 now, and I've spent all day getting nowhere with this :-(
So what I really need is for someone younger than me to adopt lgdbm
lgdbm is required by CommandLineUI.lua and that's required by
many of the things I need.
I worked fine on previous versions of devuan.
Can someone at least please tell me how to modify the above code ?
Or (very preferably) could someone please adopt lgdbm ?
Peter

The help for the configure script suggests that one can change CC. But, It does not work. How is one suppose to change CC? Kind regards, Ryan |
