Hi, I'm trying to package a REPL through LuaRocks which is available, both as a loadable module and as an executable script, which used said module to provide a standalone enhanced Lua prompt.
Thanks to some input from the list (and elsewhere) I've figured out how to package the module, but I'm still having a problem with the script. Since it's installed in $(PREFIX)/bin/, it's not possible to have multiple versions, say one for Lua 5.1 and one for 5.2 installed side-by-side. Whatever's installed last just writes over what has been previously installed. I could handle this by appending the version to the name of the installed file but I can't find a way to access the Lua version inside the rock. Of course, even this would to be less than ideal, because you'd then have to type luap-5.2 instead of just luap (this being the name of the script) to run the interpreter, but I guess one can make a link manually easily enough. Of course a post-install hook where one could take care of such things automatically, as is done in most package systems like apt, would be even better. Is there any way I can tackle this in LuaRocks?
