What is a Lua "package"? #1

Closed Alloyed closed 4 years ago

Alloyed commented 6 years ago

So I'm quickly reading the CLI docs:

Usage: luapak make [options] [PACKAGE...]
       luapak make --help

Makes a standalone executable from Lua package(s). This is the main Luapak
command that handles entire process from installing dependencies to
compiling executable.

and it's not clear to me what a lua package is in this context. Is it a directory with a rockspec in it, the rockspec itself, etc? A bit of definition or maybe an example would help here.

EDIT: so it looks like package is pretty adequately explained in the "real" luapak make --help docs: in this case I was reading the github readme page instead: so the actual actionable feedback is just to update the readme.md to include this info.
