I think one of the things that's enabled npm [http://npmjs.org/] to succeed in the node.js world is that it's trivial to publish new packages.
This is enabled by two things a relatively pain free account system that allows admins of projects to be uniquely related to the packages they've published, and the ability for npm to store static tarballs. While I'm impressed in Hisham's ability to keep everything running, I in general feel that the ecosystem could use a kick in the pants, even if that resulted in a lower average quality of rocks. I think this would largely be about exposing "luarocks-admin" tools in the luarocks command, and authenticating those requests. Is this something worth considering? ~ Anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
