Well, that's why you would _have_ to do it, but those situations are pretty limited. You could of course use it wherever you like, if you happen to like lua, since we don't have any prohibitions against it. Really, though, the problem is with scriptlets in general, not what language you can write them in. I would consider anything which pretends to work like RPM but doesn't process lua scriptlets properly to be broken, sure, but I do still think that we should be trying to get rid of scriptlets as much as possible. Certainly there should be relatively few situations where we would need to have hand-written (or even pasted in) scriptlets. Also note that this is completely, absolutely separate from use of Lua on the build-side of rpm specs. Honestly I don't even know whether that is what the original poster was talking about. - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
