Re: Dependency graph of top 350 rocks in luarocks.org

[Alban Linard <alban.linard@...>]

It seems strange that projects depend on testing tools, such as busted, as this dependency is usually used __only__ for development.

I always end up writing two rockspecs: one to install development environment (busted, cluacov, luacheck, …) and a real one for the non-development dependencies, that is uploaded to luarocks.org.

Is there a way to specify in one rockspec the distinction between dev dependencies and others ? Is there a better solution ? Good practices ?
