Arch Linux

Description:

lua51-socket isn't supporting unix sockets. Running prosody with it leads to

auth_dovecot: Dovecot connection failure: error connecting
to dovecot UNIX socket at '/var/run/dovecot/auth-login'. error was 'luasocket was not compiled with UNIX sockets support

The thing is, prosody is one of the few possible consumers of this library:

pactree -s -r lua51-socket
lua51-socket
├─libquvi-scripts
│ └─libquvi
│ ├─cclive
│ ├─mpv
│ └─quvi
│ └─clive
├─lua51-sec
└─prosody


I therefor would like to propose that this package is compiled with unix socket support in the future, making custom builds unnecessary.

(I know that I can work around my issue and use TCP sockets. That's not an option for my deployment though)

Additional info:
* package version(s)

lua51-socket 3.0rc1-2

Steps to reproduce:

- install prosody
- use mod_auth_dovecot for authentication (download two lua files, change the 'authentication' part in the config with 'dovecot', see [1])
- launch prosody

Alternatively: Use lua51-socket in a simple script, connecting to a unix socket.
