Hello Leaf!
I'd love to have some more "open" approach for managing the rockspecs.
Maybe homebrew might be a good place to look (
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Formula-Cookbook). The repository for
the formulas (->rockspecs) is basically a github project. If you want to
add or improve something, just fork and make a pull request.
I was pretty impressed to see how neat homebrew integrates with the github
workflow and I was thinking this might be just great for luarocks as well.
In particular I like that you can test the new repository / changes you
made on your computer with no extra infrastructure.
@Hisham: This appraoch may safe you a lot of time fixing rockspecs etc,
dont you think?
Regards,
Gerhard
