I would like to run a nix-review on it before merging, but I have some problems with it so don't merge yet.

[teto]

nix-review shows some errors which is strange since building just lua-zlib works fine.

Maybe zlib is not properly propagated and I should set ZLIB_DIR

  Error: Could not find header file for ZLIB
    No file zlib.h in /nix/store/vj3hlhyh30bmc2n84v3zn9hj320ahvf4-lua-5.2.4/include
  You may have to install ZLIB in your system and/or pass ZLIB_DIR or ZLIB_INCDIR to the luarocks command.
  Example: luarocks install lua-zlib ZLIB_DIR=/usr/local

but if I run NIX_PATH="nixpkgs=/home/teto/nixpkgs2:$NIX_PATH" nix-shell -p 'lua5_3.withPackages(p: [ p.lua-zlib] )' it is built ok.

sile could also be updated to use lua env as I did in https://github.com/teto/nixpkgs/tree/lua_envs

[teto]

for some reason lfs.so (luafilesystem) isn't brought in the luakit environment... will check when I have more time.

[teto]

when looking into more details, it seems like several lua environments are generated via nix build luakit, one with lfs.so as expected and the other without inputs. I am not sure why, must be a bug somewhere in the lua infrastructure.

[Mic92]

Some commits that can already be cherry-picked?

[teto]

@Mic92 thanks for proposing

• add isLua53 8071a4803bbeb7297b400518e0bbea1366cbf3ec
• lua5Packages.luuid ee78d0c
• lua: run postConfigure hook for rock and rockspec 27de7f1 actually fixes a bug so would be top priority to merge

[Mic92]

Cherry-picked all three. Can be removed with an interactive rebase from this pr now.
