CONTRIBUTING MODULES

Anyone can upload and host Lua modules.

Register an account and upload a .rockspec to create a new module. If your
module name is not taken it will be added to the root manifest.

After you have uploaded a .rockspec, you can upload .rock files for a specific
version by going to the version’s page. Rock files ensure that your module will
be installable as long as this site is up.

The most recent version of LuaRocks supports uploading modules with the upload
command:

$ luarocks upload my_thing-1.0-1.rockspec


For older LuaRocks installations, you can use moonrocks:

$ luarocks install moonrocks
$ moonrocks upload my_thing-1.0-1.rockspec
