LuaRocks 3.12.0 is now released, the first release after the codebase was converted to Teal!
Congrats to my mentee Victor Ilchev, who performed the conversion as his summer project for GSoC 2024. His work should be hitting production CIs worldwide by now!

aaand I'm done for the night, after a 7 hour stream!
We now have a branch where #LuaRocks can build from a plain Makefile into a stand-alone executable with all its #Lua dependencies vendored in: https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/tree/luarocks4
Next steps will be to deal with its non-Lua dependencies, and Windows cross-compilation. With that in place, further code cleanups can start!

Today, I extracted my #Lua port of the Rough.js library into a standalone module and published it on #luarocks
It is a small graphics library that lets you draw lines, polygons and curves in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style.
I formerly used it in some of my 3rd-party packages for the #SILE typesetting system, but now having it as its own independent module might be interesting for other Lua developers, outside the SILE ecosystem.
#LuaRocks question - how can I use it with #LuaJIT?
$ luarocks --lua-version=5.1 install --local opencl
Installing https://luarocks.org/opencl-1.2.0-1.src.rock

Do I need to reconfigure/reinstall luarocks, or can I make it work with both LuaJIT and Lua 5.1/5.4?
