Hi Stefan,


Yes, the github mirror is sometimes slightly ahead of the official savannah 
repository, and is much more prone to breakage that will force you to do a 
fresh git checkout from time to time if I rewrite history as I fix things 
before pushing to the official savannah repo. In this case you picked up some 
changes I added to test moving the former `zile.Array` into stdlib as 
`std.array` where it can be useful to other projects... although I've since 
renamed that module to `std.vector` in github stdlib.

 From here you have a couple of options to get going:

   1. You are very welcome to try bleeding edge zile and report any problems 
you find, which I'll fix as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately you'll need to 
update to the latest git version of stdlib too in this case.  I've just pushed 
another commit to github zile to catch up with the most recent upgrades to 
github stdlib.  I've also tested all of these together this morning, and 
everything appears to be working well here.

   2. If you don't want to fiddle with setting up a separate package.path for 
bleeding edge stdlib, or you're worried about breaking other Lua programs by 
overwriting the stable stdlib in the main package tree, you should use the 
savannah git repo for Zile, which works with stdlib v40.

Apologies for the dust and scaffolding while I'm making the current round of 
improvements to the infrastructure.

If there's anything else I can help with, please feel free to post again to the 
mailing list.

Cheers,

Hello,

I will go for 2. for now, but when I got more familiar with lua and luarocks 
(which seems to be down at the moment), I will prbably step up to 1.

For the record, I managed to build zz and zemacs successfully after switching off the 
"-j3" compile option globally on my system. This may slow down other compile 
runs, but I do not care.

Thanks for your help and the warm welcome.

For now, I pushed a PKGBUILD to the AUR[1] to make zile3 more pupular among 
Arch Linux users.
