Recipe for Lua

Ideally, the build system implemented in environ.sh in the libc repo should be properly integrated into the cookbook.

I think it might be better if the recipe system was Makefile-based instead of bash-based. (Which I guess would be like BSD ports, though I haven't used BSD much).

Thanks! It is good to see what is required, I hope we can adjust the cookbook to make C packaging easy as well

Maybe have a patches directory, where they are iterated one by one in alphanumeric order?

if [ -d patches ] then for patch in patches/* ...

Since the package already has it's own directory, I think a patches directory is unnecessary. Perhaps just loop over files with a .patch suffix? (for patch in *.patch...)

Sure, that is fine

I am removing the patches, preferring it to be done in the recipe_update step

I cleaned it up and merged. To follow standards and allow git ignore, I have named the tar file source.tar, and I used strip-components to extract it without the top name

We can write a tag file for each step and the version that step was completed at, which will make it easy to run steps as needed

You can sudo pkg install lua now

I haven't checked if it works though

A simple test Lua script runs. The repl opens, but doesn't seem to be accepting input; I don't know why.
