As we start accumulating more Lua packages in our repository, is
it perhaps time to start working on Lua packaging guidelines
(similar to one for Python, Ocaml etc.).
There are ongoing reviews for lutok and datalog, in particular,
where a guideline on package naming would be useful. A rule saying
"use lua- prefix unless package starts with lu / lua", similar to
what we have for Python, would cover lutok, for example (but not
datalog).
Has anyone started on something like this? Searching the wiki for
Lua does not turn up any draft packaging guidelines. I can start
one if people are interested.
That would be excellent. If you could also reach out to other
packagers that you know work with lua a lot for their input, and
include rationales for thing, problems they solve/prevent, etc,
and submit a draft, FPC will have a look.
I've posted an initial draft here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Lua
- -- please discuss proposed changes in the discussion tab.
I plan to look further into the LuaRocks situation once I have a bit
more time (sometime after next week) and make that section more
fleshed out before submitting this to FPC.
Just FWIW, it shouldn't be hard at all to create a drop-in automatic
dependency generator for the lua(abi) requires (and provides for that
matter), similarly to what's done for python(abi) dependencies.
