Publishing

To publish a version on https://luarocks.org/, we need luarocks installed.

sudo apt install luarocks

Publish a new version

1. Create a new git tag
2. Create a new version of the rockspec
3. Update the versions in the rockspec
4. Ensure that the tar.gz is accessible
5. Lint and upload
   • luarocks lint ./<rockspec>
   • luarocks upload --api-key <apiKey> ./lua-string-extensions-<version>.rockspec
6. Ensure that the new version is registered in the root manifest
   • https://luarocks.org/m/root/manifest-5.1

Update an existing version

Same procedure as publishing a new version but instead of creating a new version, you update the existing tag and force update.

luarocks upload --api-key <apiKey> ./lua-string-extensions-<existing-version>.rockspec --force
