[ANN] lpty 0.8-2

[Gunnar Zötl <gz@...>]

Hello again,

due to a certain amount of incompetence on the programmers side, shortly 
after the original release another release was necessary. However, no 
functionality has changed, just a few warnings removed, so there is no 
real need to upgrade. You could, however, as building this version is 
much prettier (at least on linux) ;)

lpty is a module that allows a program written in lua to control another 
program using a pty. Unlike pipes this allows to control even programs 
asking for passwords (like for example ssh) and catch output that is not 
terminated by a line feed.

lpty has been tested on linux and Mac OSX, but should compile and run on 
any OS with Unix98 pty support.

You can get lpty from http://www.tset.de/lpty/ or from the luarocks 
repository.

Gunnar

... and thanks for the help with the warnings :)
