LÖVE

Hi folks,

In the last years, we've seen the introduction of many powerful package manager for a variety of languages.

i.e. npm for Node.js, Composer for PHP, Bower for frontend javascript, etc

Yesterday I was building a small repository of all the libraries I use when I play with Löve and this thought came to my mind: what if there was a simple package manager that fed itself from github repository?

This would make the library handling process much more simpler, would allow library updates through the package manager and more.

Is there anything similar available? Otherwise I'm thinking of starting something similar. If you'd like such an idea, feel free to comment and let me know!

Thanks and have a nice day

There is luarocks. You could consider re-purposing that with a fork.

Thanks I'll check it out!

There are some package managers for Lua. The Great Josefnpat already mentionned LuaRocks, I'll also add to that list LuaDist, MoonRocks and the recent LuaPower.
So, if you are proposing a new package manager with new functionalities, then it will be very welcome. Otherwise, no need to reinvent the wheel.
