Kepler: The Lua Web Development Platform

Source distribution format

The source distribution format should mirror closely the CVS Format:

modulename-x.y.z

/doc/locale

Project documentation separated by locale (us and br).

/examples

Project examples files

/src

Project source files

/tests

Project test files

Extracting the source from CVS as an anonymous user:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.luaforge.net:/cvsroot/productname login

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.luaforge.net:/cvsroot/productname export -r tagname -d modulename-x.y modulename

Generating the source packages:

tar czvf modulename-x.y.tar.gz modulename-x.y

zip -r modulename-x.y.zip modulename-x.y

Generating the full Kepler Unix package as a developer

export CVS_LUAFORGE=-d:ext:developername@cvs.luaforge.net:/cvsroot

make dist

Generating the full Kepler Unix package as anonymous (uses wget to retrieve LuaBinaries and LuaSocket from keplerproject.org)

rm -rf kepler

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.luaforge.net:/cvsroot/kepler login

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.luaforge.net:/cvsroot/kepler co kepler

cd kepler

make dist or make snapshot

Expanding a package in the local directory

tar -zxf modulename-x.y.tar.gz

The Windows binary distribution format for Lua X.Y uses the name

modulename-x.y.z-win32-luaXY.zip

and should include every Lua source file, the module DLL and the dependencies DLLs.
