So I remove the '-1' from the tarball filename, and then can drop the extra 'dir = ' line. Clear! One more question though; installed it using LuaRocks, automatically downloads dependencies. Works as expected (nice!). But when inspecting the repository tree, I noted that 'copas' has a 'doc' directory, whereas 'copastimer' doesn't have it. Though neither has it mentioned in the rockspec, and both have it in the tarball, why is that? How to go about to get the docs and test/example files installed as well when someone installs copastimer?
