new rockspec version 0.3.2 and into luarocks repo?

[soumith]

nixio doesn't build anymore with gcc 4.8.0+ on luarocks's version 0.3.1

A commit was made to fix this in scm over here: https://github.com/Neopallium/nixio/commit/07f91adaf0768e0ad0831b0ee76f7e7be08471b8

However, in the default luarocks build server, the rockspec is still 0.3.1 with an older version of the source.

It would be great to issue a new version so that nixio build by default in luarocks without having to manually pull the scm rockspec

Hi @Neopallium doing GSoC I got into this issue as we need/want to use nixio inside a docker image. Can I help you to do a release and update the luarocks package? Here I did an atempt https://github.com/Neopallium/nixio/pull/17 plase tell me how it looks and what are your plans on this.

(If you are interested in why we are using nixio you can read this blog post https://blog.freifunk.net/2019/07/21/unittesting-libremesh-gsoc-mid-term-update/)

FWIW; given how completely stagnant this project appears to be, to simply replace nixio in openwrt with https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix I've done that in all of my own projects so far, so that my apps run easily on both host/openwrt instead of having to do deal with this. It's ~straightforward in nearly all locations, and moves sideways to an actively maintained project.

Fix in release 0.4: luarocks install Neopallium/nixio
