I hope not, it should have picked up release-34-2, so there's an error in
The rockspec I posted. thanks for pointing it out!

The idea was that we corrected an error in stdlib-34, and wanted to supersede
that broken release. I'll fix the rockspec in the fixed release and repost.

How about calling it 34a, which is the usual GNU project method of repackaging
A broken previous release?

if not, then 34.1-1 seems like a decent compromise.

Either way, is it possible to pull the previous stdlib-34-1 from the repo to 
prevent
giving the broken version to anyone else?
