They are different. The first one queries modules from moonrock's root manifest, it contains modules from many different people. The second command only searches a user's personal manifest, modules that only a user has uploaded. You can the see 'manifest' files for each of these URLs to see what they contain: http://rocks.moonscript.org/manifest http://rocks.moonscript.org/manifests/peterbillam/manifest Unless you are trying to get a module that isn't available in the root manifest, you should typically use the shorter version. > Also (OT): can moonrocks upgrade itself, or is it necessary to: > luarocks remove moonrocks > luarocks install --server=http://rocks.moonscript.org moonrocks If you have a more recent version of LuaRocks you can upgrade moonrocks by doing: moonrocks install moonrocks This tool will be deprecated shortly though should so this will be unnecessary. > P.S. Is it planned to make rocks.moonscript.org the default > server for the luarocks command ? > Or is it planned to package up moonrocks for the major distros ? > debian~> aptitude search luarocks > i luarocks - deployment and management system for Lua modules The plan is to make it the default, it's already checked in and should be released shortly. You won't need to install the moonrocks command line tool anymore, I'll put a notice on it's page and remove the directions from rocks.moonscript.org. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
