rockspec practices

I'm thinking the rockspec in the repository should point to the repository itself.

version = "HEAD-0"
source = {
  url = "git://github.com/daurnimator/busted.git" ;
}

file needs to be renamed to busted-HEAD-0.rockspec

Adding a version or static download should only be done on release.

'luarocks make' will make and install the local source, and ignore the rockspec source directive; what benefit does that give us?

[daurnimator]

It will? I recall trying and it would just download the one in the rockspec...

[DorianGray]

No, it builds the rockspec from the current directory. We use it for testing all the time.

Ah, sorry.
I was to do luarocks install busted.spec
luarocks make works fine :)

I still think keeping a specific version rockspec in the repository is strange though..
