Lua Search

wiki

LuaSearch (http://math2.org/luasearch) is a website that intends to provide a centralized locater of Lua modules and documentation (similar to Perl's [CPAN])--or at least that is the idea.

Module Submissions Pending

If you'd like to submit a module to LuaSearch, please add the official URL to your distribution files (preferably on LuaForge) as per the instructions on the LuaSearch page.

(Note: eventually we'll likely move the registration process onto LuaSearch itself, but for now the wiki will suffice.)

Comments/Questions

If you have any comments or questions on LuaSearch, you may add them below:

2008-08: Unfortunately, this project hasn't yet taken off. Perhaps familiarity with POD is an issue. There are a number of benefits to standardization in documentation packaging, as is some of the standardization packaging efforts in LuaRocks. --DavidManura

Most probably the lack of automatization is an issue as I believe. See The Zen of Comprehensive Archive Networks [1]. Without the PAUSE [2], there would be no such thing as CPAN. --DmitryGaivoronsky
