Uploaded, thanks. This naming issue for installing scripts should be fixed in the next LuaRocks release. > For those not acquainted, Lake is like a cross between Rake and SCons. > > http://stevedonovan.github.com/lake/index.html > > Several people have kindly pointed about that 2.5KLoc is unusually > large for a single Lua script.

I've always meant for build backends to be extensible in LR, but we've never explored that much. We probably need some more mechanisms to make that effective (for example, if the value of build.type is "foo" and there's no luarocks.build.foo module, try to install a "luarocks-build-foo" rock). Do you see Lake as an eventual replacement for the LuaRocks "builtin" build type? -- Hisham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
