Hi fmitha,
well, I am interested in working on that, for several reasons... I
want to learn more about luarocks and about the new ways of creating
Debian packages (<- short-term goals), I want to earn karma points
with the luarocks developers (a medium-term goal), I want to have
better support for luarocks in Debian (long-term (?) goal), and I want
to produce "executable notes" for most of that, in the sense of this
presentation,
http://angg.twu.net/emacsconf2019.html
mainly the ideas between 14:18 and 16:34...
What parts of the package have you done? Do you have a skeleton that
needs a lot of work, or not even that?
Cheers!

[Lua vs Python] Luarocks
Hi list,
here are my 2 cents about the Lua vs Python discussion - in a new
thread.
1) It is unrealistic to ask Roberto and Luiz to choose among rocks
that they've never used and bless some of them. Some people use
luarocks very little or not at all, and Roberto and Luiz may be
some of these people.
2) At this moment it is not very easy to play with a new rock - and it
should be!!! Let me give an example. A few days ago I realized that
I could find a certain bug easily if I had a debugger - I do have
functions that start REPLs and inspect stack frames, but they are
quick hacks that I wrote myself and they're not very good, so I
went to luarocks.org and got this listing:
https://luarocks.org/search?q=debug
I chose "debugger", and did:
luarocks --local install debugger
and discovered that now I have these files:
~/.luarocks/lib/luarocks/rocks/debugger/scm-1/doc/README.md
~/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/debugger.lua
which is great - this one comes with docs, I don't need to fetch
the source package! - so I did this,
lua5.1
userocks() -- defined in my LUA_INIT file
require "debugger"
-- ...I and got this error:
-- stdin:1: module 'debugger' not found: [blabla many lines]
Voila! Another rock that doesn't work out of the box for me...
3) A few days ago I complained that "luarocks unpack" does not work on
my Debian box. My messages are here:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2020-01/msg00099.html
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2020-01/msg00101.html
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2020-01/msg00114.html
In an ideal world the problem that I reported in (3) would be
considered EXTREMELY URGENT - *everybody* would know that the first
step towards getting 25 millions of Lua users is to have impeccable
batteries, and the first step towards that is to make luarocks both
super user-friendly and super hacker-friendly... trying a rock should
be something incredibly easy for all kinds of people, including people
who want to look at the source!!!
WE NEED AN ARMY OF LUAROCKS HACKERS.
Cheers,
Eduardo Ochs

Let me disagree! =)
Debian has this:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/python-apt
I've never been able to use it - my brain is wired in a way that makes
Python too hard for me - but I have the impression that if luarocks
could be made a bit more hackeable then the people who are complaining
that Lua's batteries are a mess would change their attitude
completely... they would change the tone of their messages and they
would start sending things like "hey, I wrote this script here that
performs the tests such and such in the latest version of all the
existing rocks, and I just discovered that 20% of them fail this test
here..."
By the way, the last line of /usr/bin/luarocks is:
command_line.run_command(...)
I've just added these two lines before that one,
local myfile = os.getenv "LUAROCKS_DO"
if myfile and myfile ~= "" then dofile(myfile) end
and I am starting to play with that. My first (super-trivial) tests
are here:
