[TOOL] LÖVERocks - A package manager manager

[bakpakin]

Yep, I had the same experience at bartbes for installing rocks, but only for rocks that have a dependency on love. As for setting it up, loverocks worked pretty well for me.

It would also be nice to have a remove command to complement the install command, but there are other problems that need more attention right now. That said, this project is a great idea that should have been made a while ago.

[bakpakin]

So I figured I'd give this a go.. it didn't work:

Code: Select all

[bartbes@archery async-futures]$ loverocks init
ERROR: NYI. For now, try making an empty project with `loverocks new` and moving your code into the result.

Code: Select all

[bartbes@archery love-misc-libs]$ loverocks new futures

[bartbes@archery futures]$ loverocks install

Missing dependencies for futures:
love ~> 0.9


Error: Could not satisfy dependency: love ~> 0.9

I'm sure some/all of it is my fault, but it wasn't exactly a nice first experience.

Are you on the most updated version, 0.0.3? It setup for me fine on OSX.

[bartbes]

Are you on the most updated version, 0.0.3?

Just checked, I am on 0.0.3.

EDIT: Maybe it's related to me having lua 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 on my machine (with the 'lua' binary being lua 5.3)? Or because it's a local install?

Can you run

Code: Select all

 find ~/.luarocks -path "*loverocks*" 

quickly? It looks like we didn't find the appropriate template and my bad error handling didn't warn about it in time to avoid making the project in the first place.

One more try. can you quickly patch with

Code: Select all

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alloyed/loverocks/master/loverocks/commands/new.lua >! /home/bartbes/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/loverocks/commands/new.lua

and tell me what "loverocks new foo" does then?

I see you added a more descriptive error:

So I asked hisham and he thinks there might be a regression in datafile. Can you test his patch by doing

Code: Select all

$ luarocks remove loverocks datafile
$ luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hishamhm/datafile/master/rockspecs/datafile-scm-1.rockspec
$ luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alloyed/loverocks/master/loverocks-scm-0.rockspec

[bartbes]

That doesn't work either, it gets weirder and weirder.. Again, may it be related to my multiple lua and luarocks versions and/or having this all installed with --local?

huh. I've got multiple versions of luarocks/lua installed using the --local tree too, but I can't reproduce. Maybe another install of luarocks/datafile is finding its way in? try

Code: Select all

$ lua -e for i, loader in ipairs(package.loaders) do print(i) print(loader("datafile")) print(loader("luarocks")) end
$ eval `luarocks path`
$ lua -e for i, loader in ipairs(package.loaders) do print(i) print(loader("datafile")) print(loader("luarocks")) end
