I'm back with some feedback. 1. What about these commits from Steve's repo? 1.1. https://github.com/stevedonovan/luarocks/commit/f3a33fbf845dfbb97b66767316b42974fd894884 > Extra top-level field for rockspec called 'meta'. It can be any arbitrary > Lua table structure and is intended for attaching metadata to rockspecs. I'm not sure I like the design of it, but I need to attach metadata to my rockspecs (a Git commit ID from which rockspec was built), and it should do the job. Instead of this I would prefer to have "x-<something>" fields (for example, "x-git-commit-sha") to be allowed at any place of the rockspec, so I would be able to keep metadata close to the data it related to. I can produce a patch for this if it has a chance to get into the trunk. 1.2. https://github.com/stevedonovan/luarocks/commit/8d6055558e9de024f732037e9f103b28c8c90317 > The make command now supports a --path=dir flag. This would be useful in my build scripts. 1.3. https://github.com/stevedonovan/luarocks/commit/a6a9123b7d36c73495388ecb2bc99850a51165e1 > Machine-friendly output from luarocks list with the --line flag. > This will give tab-separated columns name,version,repo. Hisham, please, can you merge this into 2.0.4? I really need that one. 1.4. https://github.com/stevedonovan/luarocks/commit/30cdd3c7523c50083a616a3357946a7f33dc0ae2 > Added pre_install hook; this is called directly after dependencies have > been satisfied and we are starting the install.

I'll need something like this in the long run for my deployment process. 2. I've just run deployment locally with 2.0.4-rc2, all seems to be OK. Thanks, Alexander. P.S. I'll try to return with more feedback on other features. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
