luafilesystem-1.5.0-3.rockspec about busted HOT 8 CLOSED

lfs hasn't been updated to 5.2, so fix lfs (see http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-08/msg00094.html ) or downgrade Lua to 5.1 (if you want to use LuaRocks then only downgrading 5.1 will work probably)

from busted.

The other option is to use luajit instead of lua (which is a good idea almost all the time anyway), which works with lfs. You can brew install luajit and busted will detect and use it automatically.

Had a colleague @WestleyArgentum test out a pull request to LFS that hasn't been merged yet and is six months old. It works...but how to get the luarock updated with a new version that supports 5.2...

There's another way, too: install 5.1 with homebrew. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3987683/homebrew-install-specific-version-of-formula using commit 7e5bc89e35

if you're feeling lucky, you might try and fix the rock. The rock file itself is just a zip file. Update the sources in the rock, along with the rockspec, also in the zip file. Then use luarocks to install the rock (from the local modified rock that is, not from a rocks server).
I've never done this, but it should be possible.

They've pulled in a 5.2-compat pull request, so we just have to wait on the rockspec. Will comment and close once that's done.

Also, it seems like there's build problems with gcc 4.2.1 that comes with homebrew on osx. @WestleyArgentum was able to build using a newer version, although I'm not sure which one.

I'm really missing Ruby's bundler and gems. :(
