question re: luarocks packaging and releases

[flrgh]

We've noticed the luarocks package of lua-cjson has not been updated in some time:

I'm aware the most up-to-date version is bundled with OpenResty itself, but many projects (resty-related and otherwise) take lua-cjson as a dependency.

Is it possible to publish an updated package to luarocks? Perhaps this should come with a new tag/release as well, as there has been at least one important bugfix merged since 2.1.0.12.

[Tieske]

Yes, I need this as well, as currently the lua-resty-ljsonschema library which depends on lua-cjson will install an outdated version on an up-to-date OpenResty system.

@zhuizhuhaomeng sorry to ping you directly, but is there anything that can be done about this?

bump, there is already 2.1.0.13 tag, is it possible to publish new versions to luarocks.org?

[Tieske]

Great to see #84 by @hishamhm was merged. So all that's left is a new release and upload to LuaRocks.

Anything we can do to facilitate @zhuizhuhaomeng ?

[zhuizhuhaomeng]

@Tieske I didn't use the LuaRocks before?
Would you please prepare the script for LuaRocks?

[Tieske]

@zhuizhuhaomeng there is little to it, ensure you have Luarocks installed, and have the Apikey handy, then from the repo do:

	luarocks upload lua-cjson-2.1.0.14-1.rockspec --api-key=<your api-key>

[Tieske]

There are also github actions that can automate this process, see https://github.com/lunarmodules/busted/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml

@zhuizhuhaomeng any update on this? anything you need?

[zhuizhuhaomeng]

I don't know how to find the email of the account "openresty".
Do you know the email of the luarock maintainer?
I would like to contact them to recover the account.

[Tieske]

@hishamhm can you provide @zhuizhuhaomeng with the email address of the OpenResty LuaRocks account?

[hishamhm]

Do you know the email of the luarock maintainer?
I would like to contact them to recover the account.

@zhuizhuhaomeng I emailed the address to the gmail address that is in your Github account info.
