Feature request - luarocks #31

Open wspr opened 4 years ago

wspr commented 4 years ago

Given lua is installed out of the box, having access to the package manager luarocks would be a natural complement.

I recognise that this may be highly challenging if not impossible, since many many luarocks are wrappers around C libraries that are presumably not portable (or automatically portable). I don't know whether luarocks provides an easy way to screen out / reject any packages than are not pure Lua. The rockspec format MAY be possible to identify pure Lua functions with a few heuristics I suppose.

Otherwise I guess it would be fine if non-pure Lua packages just died at some phase of the luarocks installation process :)

A second vote for access to luarocks - noting the challenges mentioned by wspr. Could use access to some extra packages for lua.
