Hello everyone. I'm writing an OS X app that lets users automate common GUI tasks. Using the Lua modules I've written, you can create global hotkeys, inspect and move windows and running applications, etc.
One highly requested feature was to extract all the modules into third-party extensions, so they can each move at their own rate. In response, I began to roll a full-featured in-app package manager. But it's a lot of work, and I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel. Ideally I'd like my app to be super minimalist, and not be responsible for package-management functionality. It should mostly just be a host app for a Lua environment. So I'm thinking of turning my modules into Luarocks packages. Would this make sense? The reason I'm unsure is because many of them depend on being run inside OS X. Also, if Luarocks is analogous to RubyGems, is there an analog for Ruby's Bundler tool, i.e. where you can list a set of packages to be installed, and it will install them for you if they aren't already installed? Thanks in advance. Regards, Steven Degutis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
