[Luarocks-developers] first moonrocks upload :-)

[Peter B. <pj...@pj...>]

Greetings.  I managed to fall into two little traps;
might be useful to put them on the record here:

Mostly, moonrocks works under lua5.1 or 5.2; But, for
moonrocks upload  it needs to have been installed under 5.1,
and then run under 5.1.  Otherwise, upload gives a
  Error: attempt to call global 'setfenv' (a nil value)

For upload, the rockspec must be in current directory. Thus:
  moonrocks upload ~/www/comp/lua/commandlineui-1.72-0.rockspec
fails at the .src.rock step with:
  Filename must be in format `commandlineui-VERSION.ARCH.rock`
but:
  cd ~/www/comp/lua/
  moonrocks upload commandlineui-1.72-0.rockspec
seems to work fine :-)  So I think I'm on my way now...
