Re: Lua buildpack for Heroku

Out of curiosity, why did you create a package.lua with the project dependencies? Couldn't that information be extracted from the project's rockspec?

I created a buildpack for running Lua web apps on heroku
(http://www.heroku.com/), the cloud hosting service. It's free to run
simple apps.

The build pack is here: https://github.com/leafo/heroku-buildpack-lua

I also wrote a tutorial post on how to use it:

I haven't tried any database connectivity yet. Just tried running a
simple webapp powered by Xavante. I messed around running orbit as
well.

The whole process was pretty smooth, my method is describing
dependencies is pretty sloppy though.

Check it out and tell me what you think.
