Publishing a Bazaar branch for Lua on Launchpad

[Matt Campbell <mattcampbell@...>]

Hello:

I've just registered a new project called LuaWin on Launchpad, the free 
software hosting site created by Canonical.  I've posted the code for 
this project on Launchpad via the Bazaar version control system.  But 
the code depends on a small modification that I made to the Lua core. (I 
hope this modification will eventually be accepted by the Lua team, but 
that's another issue.) The optimal way to share this modification 
through Launchpad is to publish a Bazaar branch containing the 
modification.  But to be useful, this branch needs to be derived from 
another already published branch, and there are currently none.

So I would appreciate it if either the Lua team or Daniel Silverstone, 
who registered Lua on Launchpad, would publish the current Lua source 
code as a Bazaar branch in the Lua project on Launchpad.  I can import 
the Lua 5.1.2 tarball into a Bazaar branch myself, since anyone can 
register a branch for any project.  However, I thought I should ask 
first.  Ideally, it would be nice if the Lua team would make its version 
control repository publicly available, or even switch to Bazaar.  But I 
don't expect that much now.

Thanks,
Matt
