I develop tool to generate proper debian/ and build few "packaged" rock for ubuntu/natty. Patch to LR (discussed in this thread) -- part of this work. It required to allow rocks installed in old fashion way use "system-wide" installed packages. Built packages have little manifest, inside /usr/lib/pk-rocks-tree/lib/luarocks/manifest.d/$package Full manifest rebuilt in /usr/lib/pk-rocks-tree/lib/luarocks/manifest.d on any install/remove operation. Little "runtime support" care about it. I believe this tool can be enchanced to support other major linux distributives (generate .spec for RPM for example). PS All paths taken from "live" prototype, it not published yet. But we have plans to release it soon (when it will work fine for us, and look less ugly than now) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
