I am going to admit my ignorance and give you a hardy "thank you" for a great idea. I thought LuaRocks was hosted on SourceForge and went there yesterday and did not find the code hosted there and so I gave up. I didn't even think of looking at the most likely place... GitHub. Please don't laugh at me too hard. ;)Thanks and my script is switching to using that.But I am still hopeful for a stable luarocks.org because all the documentation is there.--Regards,
