luaports

luaports is a collection of OpenBSD ports regarding Lua. All of these ports work, and allow you to avoid the hellish abomination that is luasucks^Wluarocks.

New ports:

• busted -- devel/lua-busted
• dkjson -- textproc/lua-dkjson
• luassert -- devel/luassert
• luairc -- net/luairc with patches
• mediator_lua -- devel/lua-mediator
• say -- devel/lua-say

Updated ports

These ports have been updated compared to base ports:

• luastdlib -- devel/luastdlib

Notes regarding specific ports

Generic: Naming

All ports have been renamed to include the lua prefix. This was done so that the OpenBSD ports system can substitute it depending on the Lua flavor involved. So if the port didn't have lua in front of the name this was added. For example busted was renamed lua-busted, and the port for mediator_lua was renamed to lua-mediator.

lua-busted

The various flavours install different stand alone runner scripts properly prefixed with the correct Lua flavour. So for example the standard (lua51) busted runner is called lua51-busted, the 5.2 runner is called lua52-busted, and the 5.3 runner is called lua53-busted respectively.

The software has been patched to work with lua-cliargs version 3.0 and above.

Please note that lua-busted will not work with lua5.3 unless luasocket is patched with luasocket-5.3.patch.

Module

lua-busted now comes with a module that can be included to automatically run tests for you. Just add lua-busted to your needed modules:

MODULES = devel/lua-busted

This will automatically add lua-busted as a test dependency and run lua-busted on a folder in your ${WRKSRC} called specl. If this folder is named differently (e.g. tests) just do:

MODBUSTED_SPECDIR = tests

Note that this module does nothing if you have NO_TEST set to "yes".

Usage

Check out the repository and update your PORTSDIR_PATH:

$ export PORTSDIR_PATH=~/where/ever/luaports/:/usr/ports:/usr/ports/mystuff

You can make this setting permanent in /etc/mk.conf.

Then go into a subfolder and do:

$ doas make install

For Lua 5.2 do:

$ doas env MODLUA_VERSION=5.2 make install

And for Lua 5.3 do:

$ doas env MODLUA_VERSION=5.3 make install

Licence

All ported software is of course under some sort of licence. This port collection however is licenced under the BSD licence.
