lua bindings?

[lnussel]

Minimal systems intentionally do not ship with script interpreters like perl or python which leaves only shell and therefore makes it hard to write decent programs. There's one exception that we cannot avoid though: lua. It's built into rpm. So how about adding lua bindings to libsolv so we can have fancing libsolv programs even on minimal systems?

My initial response to that is "maybe you've made the system too minimal". Are you really sure you should strip things down so much that you're forced to use languages that are not commonly used for things like this?

[lnussel]

yes

[Conan-Kudo]

Well, SWIG supports generating Lua bindings, so you could try to extend the CMake scripts so it can do it.

We have tcl bindings, so lua should not be that hard ;-)

[mlschroe]

Done.
