If you want public attention to your library (a good thing usually — public does find bugs), announcing on Lua ML is a good idea. > [OT: Since the main luarocks server seems to be down (along with the whole > kepler project site), It works from here. http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/ The website itself returns 503 though. > maybe a mirror wouldn't be bad?

As I wrote earlier, this construct works: $ sudo luarocks install asklua --only-from=https://github.com/agladysh/luarocks-mirror/raw/master/luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/ Installing https://github.com/agladysh/luarocks-mirror/raw/master/luarocks.org/repositories/ Hisham, is there a way we could setup such a mirror so it would be updated when main repo is updated and it is not burdens you to maintain it? I think that this would be good for the LuaRocks project. (The most straightforward way is to put all this stuff under Git and do commit and push each time — but I assume this is not comfortable for you.)
