A problem with the VPS brought down the server's VM. I have taken the Xavante instances for the wiki back online (the rocks repository was back up as soon as the VM was restarted by the VPS). >> 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?

Making repositories/rocks and repositories/rocks-cvs into git repositories would not affect luarocks-admin add. We could then put a cron job to do "git commit -am "update repository" && git push github master" regularly. -- Fabio Mascarenhas _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
