Packaging problem of 'luacolor'?

[fpantigny]

I have just updated MikTeX and luacolor does not work any longer.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luacolor}
\begin{document}
Test.
\end{document}

When I compile (with LuaLaTeX, of course), I have the following message:

[\directlua]:1: module 'luacolor' not found:
	no field package.preload['luacolor']
	[kpse lua searcher] file not found: 'luacolor'

I suspect an error in the packaging of the package luacolor...

Hello,
I am new to contributing but I figured I'd give it a shot. I didn't find any recent changes to the packages that might cause this issue, but the CTAN distribution of the luacolor package itself was updated yesterday 8/19/23 so that may need to be updated. However CONTRIBUTING.md states, "Please do not request a packages update unless the MiKTeX version lacks behind the CTAN more then a month." So I am not sure if it is to be updated soon. As @edocevoli is the sole contributor they'll likely be able to answer this better.
Hope this helped somewhat! Good luck

I have just downloaded the last version of luacolor on CTAN. I have run tex luacolor.dtx, such extracting the files luacolor.sty and luacolor.lua. When I put those files in the repertory of my document, I have no problem using luacolor.

I suspect that both files should be in the repertory \tex\latex\luacolor of the texmf tree. When I look at a TeXLive distribution on Ubuntu, I find both files in \tex\latex\luacolor. Now, when I look in my MikTeX installation, I only find the file luacolor.sty (and my error message precisely says that the file luacolor.lua could not been found). That's why I think that the file luacolor.lua is lacking.

Thank you, this has been fixed. Please check for updates tomorrow.
