Sure granularity is useful, but if it's just a few extra files that don't even use like 1-2KB on disk I doubt anyone is going to mind if they come with the package. (assuming this is roughly the size of things we are talking here) Since the things you included are roughly related (all of them are some sort bit garbling of byte strings) I don't think there is a big problem with shipping this as one combined thing. Of course if you plan to have like 50 crypto functions and 10 different compressions, then splitting it up might be a good idea

This sounds really useful.

Thanks!


I think this is a matter of personal preference. I think I'd like using
the single library. Breaking it up into tiny libraries would take more
work. If you prefer a single library, why don't you share this and let
anyone who wants to break it up do it themselves?

This is what I have done for the moment at https://github.com/philanc/luazen

I like the idea of sharing _source code_ and let others use the source
in their own projects.

On the other hand, it looks like people are increasingly sharing
ready-to-use libraries with platform and tools like LuaRocks.

With this approach, people expect to just _import a functionality_,
not browse a bunch of source file and pick and choose what they want.
Thus my questions about granularity...
