Description Tassilo Horn 2009-05-24 18:45:44 UTC

In this awesome release there are some functions with vararg parameters (...), and they're accessed via the special variable `arg'.  Starting with lua 5.1 this `arg' special variable is deprecated.

To make awesome 3.3_rc3 working, lua-5.1 has to be compiled with the "deprecated" USE flag. (Another option might be to use lua 5.0 where this syntax was right.)

Comment 1 Tassilo Horn 2009-05-25 13:55:19 UTC

I've talked to the awesome devs, and in git (and thus the next (pre-) release)
they will use lua 5.1 syntax only.
