LuaRocks Description

Versioned Components For Lua LuaRocks is a software for deployment and management system for Lua modules.LuaRocks allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages called "rocks", which also contain version dependency information.This information is used both during installation, so that when one rock is requested all rocks it depends on are installed as well, and at run time, so that when a module is required, the correct version is loaded. LuaRocks supports both local and remote repositories, and multiple local rocks trees.LuaRocks is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.RequirementsLuaRocks is a pure Lua application with no library dependencies. Its current release depends on some helper tools, but you shouldn't worry about them, as they are shipped by default on most Unix systems: LuaRocks requires as a basic Unix toolchain, zip, unzip and either wget (default on most Linux systems) or curl (default on Mac OSX). For Windows, these helper tools are provided by the UnxUtils project; the all-in-one Windows package already includes them, as a convenience. What's New in This Release: · Add support for post-install hooks · Path helper scripts for binaries on Windows systems. · Git support, contributed by Thomas Harning. · Improve shell compatibility for different Unix systems. · Add the @ operator for no-upgrade dependencies. · Add check for rockspec version format. · Generate index.html when building a manifest for a repository. · Plus assorted bugfixes.
