I hunted around but I couldn't determine if this is possible.
Basically, http://luarocks.org is down, and I already have a copy of luafilesystem installed on another machine locally here. With Ruby, it's possible to cross install ruby gems using the 'gem' command locally. I'm wondering if the same is possible with rocks and luarocks.
Is there any way to 'cross-install' a rock (for instance, luafilesystem), by using another local installation of that rock?
Something like:
luarocks install //10.0.1.123/machine/path/to/luafilesystem/on/other/machine
is what I'd like to be able to do.
UPDATE: I'd even be happy with how to install a rock from the .tar.gz or .zip, for instance, if I downloaded one of the images from this location (in the case of LuaFileSystem).
In which case, the 'source' for the install would / could be local to the machine, rather than remote (and wouldn't necessarily already be installed as a rock).
LuaRocks has a pack
subcommand that will create a binary rock (a zip file containing all files for an installed module). You can use that binary rock to install the same module on another computer, given that the architecture matches.
E.g.
luarocks pack luafilesystem
produces luafilesystem-1.6.2-2.linux-x86_64.rock
on my machine, and
luarocks install luafilesystem-1.6.2-2.linux-x86_64.rock
will reinstall luafilesystem
with no internet connection necessary.
If you have the source zip, you can unpack it and point luarocks to the the rockspec file. Here is how I installed 'busted' from source.
git clone https://github.com/Olivine-Labs/busted.git
luarocks install busted/busted-1.3-1.rockspec
Or install it directly from source
cd busted
luarocks make
If Someone want an installation from the local source rock.
Just do this:
cd /path/to/source-rock
luarocks make source-rock.rockspec
NOTE:
Use make
instead of install
. The reason is here (quoted below).
LuaRocks offers this:
make
Compile package in current directory using a rockspec.
install
Install a rock.However,
install
does not utilize the present make. It tries to download and recompile the same package from the server instead of the one I customized locally.Any way round this?
The
make
command will actually build and install your customized rockspec. The poor naming choice causes confusion every now and then, I know.
