Fix link on luarocks about penlight

[alerque]

The issue here is the LuaRocks page you landed on (somehow?) is not the current one. The way LuaRocks works with namespace transfers is a new copy of everything is created, but all the old legacy postings still exist. The current canonical LuaRocks publication of Penlight is at:

https://luarocks.org/modules/tieske/penlight

You will see the links on that page are correct. This is the page you'll land on if you search for Penlight on LuaRocks or just luarocks install penlight.

The question is where did you get a link to to the legacy LuaRocks page? That's probably the only end of things that remains to be fixed.

I think I had this from Google https://www.google.com/search?q=penlight+lua&sca_esv

The fix would be to place a canonical tag https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls on the old page that points to the new page so google knows to move the SEO index there.

The fact that Luarocks does not show any notification / archive / deprecation notice on the page does not help either…

I will close this, since this is nothing to be fixed here, apparently. Thanks for the help!

LuaRocks has multiple manifests, the global one was switched from Steve's repo to mine, once we transferred the ownership. But Steves repo is still around, which is the one you hit.

This allows people to have forks of repo's and modify an dhave them available. You just need to namespace them, my guess is that luarocks install steved/penlight will actually install Steves last published version.
