This discussion and your different approaches are very interesting. Alexander, just to make sure I'm still following: the LuaRocks patch you refer is #89, right? Thinking out loud: I notice both approaches use some project-specific parts to implement "export to RPM" and "export to DEB". Do you guys think it would be possible to somehow implement these features in a generic enough manner so those could be included someday as "LuaRocks plugins" or something like that? -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
