Hi! :-)
I had been going through this page on the wiki:
http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Signals
In doing so I noticed that while debug::deprecation does exist in
awesome's source, it jsut isn't added to the array of global signals.
luaA_deprecate() luaa.h emits it but it was never added to awesome's
global signals in luaa.c
The attached patch re-adds it so even if it is currently not used to
report soon-to-be deprecated functions, people can still have a signal
handler for it like so:
awesome.connect_signal('debug::deprecation', function (err)
io.stderr:write(err) end)
See attached patch :]
PS: It might be worth it in the future to have a debug::deprecated
signal to note things that have already been removed? ::deprecation
for things that are going to become obselete, ::deprecated for things
that are already gone but should still be reported to the user?
