The translation shouldn't be too hard -- the main caveat to note is that your current.hints include likely can't be required in directly, you'll need to run it through config.load(). I intend to write up a wiki page or something for converting common Forth-isms to either portable loader.conf(5) directives or Lua-specific equivalents, depending on the feasibility of the former.

Thinking about this while travelling to $JOB, it's probably best to leave it as is. I'll rewrite the includes into Lua. The benefit is greater flexibility and functionality. -- Pardon the typos and autocorrect, small keyboard in use.

Lua Loader Failure to Include
Hi, Under the old Forth loader the line: include /boot/testbed/test_sys would load the file and execute loader commands. However the the Lua loader results in the following: OK include /boot/testbed/amd64-current-r no error message OK Looking at the code, interp_include() expects to run actual Lua code using luaL_dofile(). Is this an intended change? The loader statements the file above is intending to execute are: echo echo echo testbed/amd64-current-r (12.0-CURRENT) loader file selected set bootdev=disk1s4a: include /boot/testbed/current.hints include /boot/testbed/do_load_KOMQUATS Let me know if I am to rewrite these loader statements into Lua or whether the Lua loader should be taught to read loader statements instead. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
