This can be done - Debian/Ubuntu puts the actual .so files into $PREFIX/lib, and then the Lua module path contains symlinks to this. A broader use case for 'virttual' packages is if a power user wanted LR to recognize their existing modules, yet still wanted the option to upgrade them subsequently through install. But it is an edge case. steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
