Source release contents vs GitHub/GitLab mirrors

[Roger Leigh <rleigh@...>]

Hi folks,

I was looking at building from GitHub lua/lua, but noticed that some source files were missing.  Doing a comparison of the two (excluding the documentation) 5.4.4 release vs current GitHub master:

$ diff release.list github.list
1c1,2
< Makefile
---
> README.md
> all
48a50,51
> ltests.c
> ltests.h
53,54d55
< lua.hpp
< luac.c
63a65,67
> makefile
> manual/
> onelua.c

The main thing I was missing was luac.c, but there are some other missing source files as well such as lua.hpp, and it looks like the Makefiles are different.

I just wanted to query the reasons for the discrepancy, and to ask if the missing source files are under version control anywhere else?

Kind regards,
Roger
