Re: Packaging Lua libraries

[Martin Spernau <martin@...>]

Hi Andre
I think you would interested in the LuaCheia project:
http://luacheia.lua-users.org
We are dealing with some similar issues, trying to package the most 
usefull Lua libaries into a 'complete' distribution.

 I think a general packagig-guideline/standard will be very usefull 
also oputside of LuaCheia..
