uname() volunteer needed
by Taco Hoekwater 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi all, In a discussion with Yue Wang he convinced me that it would be better to use uname() for finding os.name instead of the current jungle of #ifdefs. Because I do not want to alter the lua return values, that means I will have to interpret the contents of the returned structure a bit. To do that, I would appreciate it if the people on a non-linux32intel platform would compile and run the attached minimalistic C file. Thanks in advance, Taco

two implicit pointer conversions in luatex
by Norbert Preining 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi Taco, on Debian we got two bug reports about possible problems with implicit pointer conversions. Both emails suggest a fix (one is including the system pwd.h, one is via a supplied patch). Can you take a look at it and comment?

Hi, Taco > That is tricky. Should I return 'cygwin' in that case? > it is neither windows nor unix. As far as I am concerned, you need not to convert the string return by uname() into the previous label used in LuaTeX. This keeps LuaTeX simple and easy to maintain. I think os.name() should return a table contains five strings: {sysname=xxx,nodename=xxx,release=xxx,version=xxx,machine=xxx} Leave the corresponding code to higher level(for example, ConTeXt) Yue Wang

Next beta planning
by Taco Hoekwater 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi all, We are now in the planning phase for the next "big" luatex beta, to be released just before TUG2008 in Cork. Hans and I just now went through the bugtracker to set the "target" tags to 0.30.0 for all items that we plan to include. http://tracker.luatex.org/view_all_bug_page.php 0.40.0 will be end of summer likely, and the 'subproject' for math will coded in the autumn (0.50 before the end of 2008). People that still have open bugs or feature requests that are not covered by the tracker: please add such items now if you wish to have a chance for inclusion in any of these releases. Best wishes, Taco

luasocket
by Taco Hoekwater 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hi, I've just committed the incorporation of "luasocket" by Diego Nehab, see http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/professional/luasocket/ This allows luatex to browse the web ;-) The lua support modules are also preloaded inside the executable, so there are still no external file dependancies. But a small warning is in order: The inclusion is not yet completely finished. There is still a mis-configuration during cross-compile build for mingw32. The problem is that on windows, luatex now needs to be linked against the winsock library. (On linux, sockets are built in so it works without further configuration, I do not know the situation on other platforms). So crosscompilation works only after manual intervention by (after a failed build is complete) setting socketlibs = -lwsock32 in build-windows/texk/web2c/Makefile, then relinking. Perhaps other systems require similar trickery for now. I will fix this soon, but not today. On linux all should compile fine, and you should be able to compile and run the examples from src/libs/luasocket/{etc,samples,test} under "texlua" without need to change anything inside them. Testing welcome. Best wishes, Taco
