It is my current hope that grabbing a tarball on a particular version tag will consistently have the same directory name inside. Then we can say source.dir = 'whatever'. But I'm not _completely_ convinced that this is the case. (The difficulties with proxies mean that I am relying on downloads.github.com and I don't know how whether those links will exist forever.) It certainly makes the tarball from <project>/tarball/master un-usable from LR, unless LR grows a new feature, source.dir='*' ;) > Can anyone indicate how big the main LR repo is in megabytes?

I have a reasonably recent backup, it's suprisingly small, less than 100 megs. We also have webspace, I'll look into that. steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
