Re: [ANN] Tir 0.5 With Real Downloads

[sagasw <sagasw@...>]

I tried the version you sent yesterday (0.41), and find some issue.
What I used is debian5.

1) Luarocks2.02 seems to not recognize "git:xx" in rockspec, even I have installed git-core.
after I upgrade to latest luarocks2.04rc2 (and apt-get install git too), it works.

2) follow the steps you describes in your blog. I make the Arc examples running.
but one issue found in "tir start".
the lpeg is needed, but I didn't install it. tir can't work and can't exit correct.

so I have to install "lpeg".

If possible, I think both things should be added to your document and make other people easy to use.
Thanks,

sagasw

Well, that's rather backwards don't you think?  Why should I have to
craft my own repository just to have luarocks do what it does easily
from the command ilne?  Also, I don't want to be the guy to manage a
special manifest for other people's projects.

There's gotta be something I'm over looking in luarocks that just lets
you use a URL to a rockspec as a dependency.
