One big question is whether LuaRocks supports Lua 5.2 yet. The last I heard
it didn't, but I haven't followed very closely in a couple of months. (I
use Lua, but not constantly and I'm no expert.)

A quick look at the LuaRocks dev mail list shows discussion of 5.2
compatibility (a beta) in early March, but no announcement of a finished
version. But Debian seems to have closed a bug about Lua 5.2 not working
with LuaRocks[1], and they're using what looks to be the latest release of
LuaRocks (2.0.8)[2].

I'm hoping someone who knows more can clarify, but at least I wanted to
mention the issue.

Thanks, P

CouchDB 1.2.0 release & updated recipe

Hi folks,

I've got a pull req open for a few days now for CouchDB 1.2.0, which
was officially released today - woo!! It requires an updated OpenSSL
which I've sent through also:

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pulls/dch

It would be great if the Easter Bunny could find time to commit these
so people can brew up a storm from our wiki
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX

Thanks, Dave

would imagine there is another dozen or so projects that fail with Clang that we haven't discovered and
flagged yet.

And some of those only fail with old versions of Clang. Eventually everything will be fixed to use Clang,
fear not.

Python, Ruby and Perl

Hi,

Are there a better solution than this "Gems, Eggs and Perl Modules"[1] ?

It would help if you said more about what you mean by "better". That is,
what don't you like about the ideas there?

For my part, I manage Perl interpreters with Perlbrew[1] and Ruby
interpreters with rvm[2] or rbenv[3]. It works very well, and it allows me
a lot more variety and freedom to switch than would probably be possible if
Homebrew managed everything. (I don't use Python, but I'm sure that there
are similar things available for it.)

Again, say more about what you want and what you can't do and then someone
may be able to give advice.

HTH, P
