Hey folks,
I've been playing around with localizing environments in lua and came
up with this little tool `vert` which is based loosely on pythons
`virtualenv`
It simply installs lua and luarocks to a local prefix and gives you a
shell script to rewrite your paths to point to that.
example usage:
$> vert my_project
... <lots of output as it builds stuff>
$> cd my_project
$> source ./bin/activate
$> which lua
/home/aconbere/Projects/my_project/bin/lua
$(my_project)> lua
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
>
At which point all usage of luarocks and lua will point to the
environment found in my_project.
Right now my only test environment is linux (Ubuntu 11.04) so I doubt
many other platforms are well supported. You can specify the lua
version and luarocks version you want easily with the command options.
--lua-version and --luarocks-version (I am not protecting against
incompatibilities in those requests)
Anyway, I've found it pretty useful already. You can find the projects source at
https://github.com/aconbere/vert
and the rockspec at
https://github.com/aconbere/vert/blob/v0.0.1/rockspecs/vert-0.0.1-1.rockspec
This is my first rockspect, so I expect there to be some issues :)
