Do you mean split out the lyaml library into a separate rock? That seems like a good idea, especially as I plan to write a yaml+lua based make/rake tool at some point. > Another side, the Specl test suite works fine with luaYAML. > Just replace : > local yaml = require 'lyaml' > by : > require 'yaml' -- returns an useless 'true', and polulates 2 > globals : yaml & syck > local yaml = yaml Interesting. Although, I had to build Specl before I could use it to write tests for itself, so the testsuite has very poor coverage at the moment. It would be really cool if Luarocks had some facility for virtual dependencies, so that, for example, both lyaml and luaYAML could satisfy a yaml dependency, and then Specl could depend upon yaml, which would in turn be satisfied if either of lyaml or luaYAML were installed...
