Packages
Currently packaged:
lua
: Lua interpreter, compiler and libraryluadoc
: Documentation generator tool for Luatolua++
: Automatic wrapper generator for C/C++ codelua-posix
: POSIX library for Lualua-logging
: Easy logging API for Lualua-sql

Currently awaiting review:
- prosody : flexible communications server for Jabber/XMPP written in Lua (review has been accepted, waiting for lua-dbi to build)
- datalog : A Lightweight Deductive Database using Datalog
- lua-dbi : Database interface library for Lua
Tasks
- Find more people interested in Lua and get them involved
- Identify interesting new packages to import into Fedora
- Get more packagers
Links
Lua : Main website for Lua.
Lua users wiki : Tons of good documentation, howtos, snippets and links to add-on packages.
Programming in Lua : First edition of the Lua book. Most is still relevant, a few things got changed though. It's worth buying and reading the second edition.
Lua reference manual : The Lua reference manual. Very handy, especially if you have it besides your laptop as a real book (really cheap!).
Spec files
In your spec file, you can compute the current directory for installing Lua source files with the following definitions.
%{!?luaver: %global luaver %(lua -e "print(string.sub(_VERSION, 5))")} %global luapkgdir %{_datadir}/lua/%{luaver}
Now install Lua source files with:
install -m 644 LUA-SOURCE-FILES %{luapkgdir}
