Where it could be useful is letting LR know that there is documentation in a certain place. Then it would be straightforward to write a 'luarocks docs package' command which would open the browser at the correct document. It can be done currently, but only using heuristics - i.e. there is a docs directory, it contains 'index.html' (or maybe docs contains a locale-specific directory like 'en' and so forth) I think that we agree that this kind of incantation is a clumsy and too inflexible: $ x-www-browser $(luarocks show --rock-dir package)/docs/index.html Documentation (like so much else in the Lua world) is somewhat ad-hoc ;) steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
