I got a very fast response from Taco: <snip> I now am in the process of upgrading luatex to use luafilesystem 1.5.0, and I will move most of the extra functionality to a different source file, as I wrote above. Nevertheless, there are two change sets that will remain in my version of the lfs.c file: one portability bug fix and one extension. Both of these are interesting enough to go upstream, in my opinion. The portability fix is in get_dir(), where the stock lfs version assumes a glibc-style runtime library that calls malloc() automatically inside getcwd(). I got a compilation failure report on that, for the Sun Studio compiler on Solaris 10 Sparc. The extension is an extra field thats is retunred by lfs.attributes(), named 'permissions'. This represents the file permissions as a simple 9-letter string (it uses "r", "w", and "x" only). <snap> A patch was attached: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=127;filename=lfs.c.diff;att=1;bug=441595 So go ahead and push the patches to upstream. For now I remove the wontfix tag from luatex. I'll open a wishlist bug against liblua5.1-filesystem0 and mark it as blocking our bug.
