This came up on the Lua Mailing list, and I felt it should be brought up
here as well. As part of a point I was making, I did this:
[spc]lucy:~>luarocks install luuid
...
[spc]lucy:~>lua
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> uuid = require "uuid"
> show = require "org.conman.table".show
> show(uuid)
version "uuid library for Lua 5.1 / Nov 2010"
new function: 0x905cab0
time function: 0x90541d8
isvalid function: 0x905ca78
[spc]lucy:~>luarocks install uuid
...
[spc]lucy:~>lua
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> uuid = require "uuid"
> show = require "org.conman.table".show
> show(uuid)
randomseed function: 0xa0136f8
seed function: 0xa0136d8
new function: 0xa013788
Two different rocks providing the same Lua module. In my other message, I
mentioned the problem if installing LuaFoo, which uses luuid, and LuaBar,
which uses uuid and the problems this can cause.
Granted, right now with slightly over 300 rocks, this isn't much of an
issue, but it could be.
