I agree with Cosmin and Norman that this is an important area for dedicated initiatives. I still see rockspec generation as a local activity, so my thinking was to use an Orbit-like mini-framework (Orbiter) to generate a web interface a la Webrocks. But testing that rockspec beyond the local environment, that requires the web. Perhaps the trickiest part of portable rockspec generation is creating conditional dependencies, etc. It would be useful to have a little tool that expands these conditionals, given a platform, so you can see what the rockspec looks like on that platform. It's handled by LuaRocks in a very macro-expansion kind of way, so this should be an easy one. Automated sandbox testing is a good goal but keeping a server alive with several virtual machines requires real resources - and we know that Apple doesn't like people virtualizing their OS anyway. steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
