Here's a first draft of such an API: https://github.com/stevedonovan/LuaRocksTools/tree/master/api There are some kiddie examples and a readme, and the module itself is luarocks/api.lua. Basically wraps up what you can get from the 'list', 'search' and 'show' commands, nothing too clever. E.g. the output of luarocks.api.show() is a table which looks like this: { description = [[ LuaFileSystem is a Lua library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution. LuaFileSystem offers a portable way to access the underlying directory structure and file attributes. ]], build_type = "module", repo = "C:\\LuaRocks", modules = { "lfs" }, version = "1.5.0-2", homepage = "http://www.keplerproject.org/luafilesystem/";, dependencies = { }, license = "MIT", summary = "File System Library for the Lua Programming Language", rock_dir = "C:\\LuaRocks/lib/luarocks/rocks/luafilesystem/1.5.0-2" } steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
