This happens because the author of Busted uploaded only a .rockspec to MoonRocks and didn't upload a .src.rock file along with it. When I managed the repository by hand, I always generated a .src.rock for each .rockspec. The .src.rock is a zip which contains a copy of the sources, so even if the rockspec refers to the original github URL, that URL was used only to generate the .src.rock file. -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list Luarocks-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/luarocks-developers
