I usually generate both the Unix .tar.gz and the Windows .zip with the same Unix script, 'makedist'. Is basically just copies picks which files are to be included in the Windows .zip and packs it (so that the configure script in included in the Unix tarball and install.bat is included in the Windows zip, for example). 'git log' tells me that Fabio made changes to makedist this week to accomodate your latest changes to the Windows installer. I just generated and uploaded the zip here: http://luarocks.org/releases/ -- Hisham http://hisham.hm/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
