Your assessment is correct. The reason is because since the early days LuaRocks uses manifests both to represent repositories of packed rocks (back then the main rocks server was just a directory in a webserver with .rock files and a manifest, and various projects still use this setup to host their own rock servers) and to represent the list of installed rocks in a given prefix. A LuaRocks installation is targeted for one specific Lua version, so it installs rocks for that version. But it may also manage a rock server repository, so make_manifest supports indexing a directory full of rocks for multiple Lua versions. Using the same manifest concept for indexing both a rock repository and a local rock tree is a bit confusing, I admit. I wonder if the code sharing it allowed was worth the extra complication. > Q: is it still theoretically possible to have one rocks tree for multi-Lua > and rocks installed into different `.../lua/$VERSION/` folders? No. In the current version of LuaRocks, it is possible to install it multiple times for different Lua versions and the independent LuaRocks installations will each deal with their own Lua version, producing three rocks trees. -- Hisham > пн, 8 апр. 2013 г. в 13:22, Gary V.
