Even if you use git:// in your rockspec, once I upload a release to the main repository at http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/ , I also pack a .src.rock file, which contains a copy of your sources. So, users don't need git -- only users who are tracking your unstable git tree using the http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks-scm/ repository would need it; and then for Github you can use alternative master.zip URL that others mentioned in other posts. -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
