Changing Lua references

[SWIFTYLIFT]

I’ve learned Lua versions are indeed versions and installed 54 when it looks like I need 51: How do I go about locating all 54 and removing them and anything that would be left thinking of it?

This includes Luasec luarocks - pretty much anything that ends in 54 and move properly to 51.

I have in make.conf specified the lua version explicitly. You can change it to 5.1

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=lua5=5.4
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=lua=5.4

How do I go about locating all 54 and removing them and anything that would be left thinking of it?

Look at the list from pkg info -r lua54 for example. That will give you a list of all ports that depend on lang/lua54.

How do I go about locating all 54 ...

pkg info -x lua54

... and removing them and anything that would be left thinking of it?

pkg delete -R -g 'lua54*'

See pkg-delete(8) for option details.

Thanks - think I’ve read pkg-delete enough to write it by memory at this point. Here is the output from the suggested commands:

pkg info -x lua54
pkg: No package(s) matching lua54
pkg delete -R -g 'lua54*'
No packages matched for pattern 'lua54*'

Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
1 packages requested for removal: 0 locked, 1 missing


—- if I try to use prosodyctl shell I get the following (I was able to get much more detail when I attempted to use the prosody admin telnet console (module:load) but cannot remember which module..

prosodyctl shell
** LuaSocket unix socket support not available or incompatible, ensure your
** version is up to date.

Here’s my lua info:

lua52-luasocket-3.0.r1_5,1 Socket support for the Lua language

This is driving me to drinking and close to abusing my laptop when I hear it complain like this..

Ooh - trying that now - didn’t have the second entry
