Please read documentation carefully regarding random seeds or unique strings to be provided to get a decent randomized uuid value.
Source code is on github
Rackspace (original) and Thijs Schreijer (modifications), Apache 2.0, see uuid.lua
Use LuaRocks. To fetch and install from a LuaRocks server do luarocks install uuid.
For a development installation from local source, do luarocks make from the main directory.
Tests are available and can be executed using busted, and LuaCheck for linting.
