From e582d2c87eb4a105f1db6a4a543e1ef28cd1dc2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominyk Tiller Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:45:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Boneyarding Metalua MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Proposing that we toss Metalua into the boneyard. Reasons: 1) It is hard-coded to look for Lua & Luac binaries, which are obviously now pointing at Lua (5.2). I tried tweaking those hard-coded lines with inreplace and had some success, but it still broke on finding Luac. It complies ‘successfully’, but it won’t do very much. 2) There’s been no stable Metalua release for 5 years. 3) The HEAD build hasn’t worked in at least 8 months because the github has moved away from compile scripts in favour of becoming Luarocks. 4) Honestly, interest in Metalua seems to be pretty low. If nobody has noticed the HEAD build has been dead for 8 months…? I feel like we’d be better scrapping this and pointing people at the new Luarocks available for Metalua, which are on versions 0.7.2-1 compared to our shipped 0.5-rc2. --- Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb b/Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb index 880a6cf989..1cf45f07ca 100644 --- a/Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb +++ b/Library/Homebrew/tap_migrations.rb @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ TAP_MIGRATIONS = { "librets" => "homebrew/boneyard", "libspotify" => "homebrew/binary", "lmutil" => "homebrew/binary", + "metalua" => "homebrew/boneyard", "mlkit" => "homebrew/boneyard", "mlton" => "homebrew/boneyard", "mpio" => "homebrew/boneyard",
