Creamy poked me by email yesterday and reminded me to push the Conky 1.9.6-1.2 package from extras-testing to extras, which I've now done.

I've managed to get tolua++ built now and can build Conky with full Lua support in my scratchbox, but only if I install the tolua++ deb package manually with dpkg. If I install the new tolua++ package (that I have pushed through the autobuilder) from extras-devel, then Conky will not build in my scratchbox, and it will not build on the autobuilder either, failing during the configure stage with a missing dependency on libtolua++.

I think this is possibly due to optification, I'm not sure yet but hopefully I'll have it figured out soon, and can push a version with full lua support through the repo system.

Kudos to Creamy for all his hard work.

Oh, and one final thing. I've pushed a preliminary package of conkyforecast into extras-devel if anyone wants to have a play with it. I know nothing about it yet and may not have time to try it in the near future, but if anyone feels like dabbling with it, please report back here.
