Solution to luarocks issue #6

Issue link: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … rk_items/6

Pacman would give an error message when install luarocks. Here's my solution:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 716f0cc..f60acb0 100644
--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD
@@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ build() {
package_luarocks() {
   depends+=(lua-luarocks)
   backup=(etc/luarocks/config-5.{1,2,3,4,5}.lua)
-  depends=(coreutils # need chmod, md5sum
+  depends+=(coreutils # need chmod, md5sum
            curl # need one of curl or wget
            lua
            unzip # need unzip and zip or lua-zlib

However, I still don't have an account of archlinux gitlab. Please report to them if you have any time.

However, I still don't have an account of archlinux gitlab. Please report to them if you have any time.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ote_439402 I'm fairly sure the problem and solution is understood by the package maintainer as well
It's a matter of "when", not "how"
