Hi,
you appear to have added luadoc as a dependency to the rockspec available
on luarocks.org, which is unnecessary (as I've removed the need), and is
causing users problems (because luadoc needs luasocket, which is not
available for Lua 5.2). Also, it looks like it's my fault, because the
serial number on the rockspec is still 1.
So please could you a) revert the change to the rockspec, and b) next time
you change an upstream rockspec, please bump the serial!
Thanks very much, and in particular thanks for reporting the original
problem and acting to fix it. It's just unfortunate that in this case the
cure is as bad as the original problem, and is in any case no longer needed!
