Where are released being cut?

[hhff]

Hi there!

Thanks so much for all the hard work on ledge. Can I ask, where are released being cut to?

The latest I can find on OPM is 2.1.2. How is everyone installing up to 2.3.0?

Hi, ah yes, we had been using luarocks and opm, but that habit appears to have broken down. You can download releases manually here: https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge/releases

But I will try to get opm and luarocks up and running again...

Thank you, @pintsized !

Is there any documentation on that process? I haven't installed a lua package from Git before :)

Really it's just about ensuring the contents of the lib directory are placed wherever your lua_package_path is, so that you can require("ledge") and it will find ledge.lua.

There was an old convention to use the Makefile, but I just checked and that looks broken too :/

In the wild, some kind of CI will checkout the repo at a tag and place the files in the lua_package_path, but of course this requires manual dependency management.

I will try and fix this up, I hadn't realised it had gotten so out of shape.

thank you @pintsized !

So I'll just have my dockerfile pull the repo from git, and move the files into the right place 👍

Appreciate it!

That would work, you could also use the release tarball URL e.g. https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge/archive/v2.3.0.tar.gz

Should probably switch to GH Actions and use the release event to push to OPM/Luarocks ;) @pintsized

Awesome. Thanks both. Ledge is awesome. You're doing very cool work!
