Actually, that is what LuaRocks does - if it can find LuaSocket, it switches to using socket.http and can even do https if LuaSec is loaded. It is good for the mind to be stretched by new operating systems, of course. What I meant by the GNU-niverse is that people take GNU make features for granted. When packaging for LuaRocks, ideally the maintainer should strip the makefile down to something as simple as possible, letting LR drive the configuration. This is also why I'm a fan of the 'builtin' LR build type. steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
