| 18:57 | <~Vornicus> | uch. Okay I need another pair of eyes on this |
| 19:04 | <~Vornicus> | I'm doing work on a Lua library; it's organized as a central file that loads (automatically) several sub modules. The original author set it up so that in order for the library to work, you have to mess with package.path so that the directory where the main file is is directly included. I've offered up a patch that makes it so this is unnecessary - being able to address the main file would now be sufficient. |
| 19:04 | | * Tamber applies googly eyes. There, much better. |
| 19:04 | <~Vornicus> | to this the maintainer responded |
| 19:04 | <~Vornicus> | I don't see the point of the module load fix/trick. I consider Lua modules as an abstraction which associates a module path (not a file path) to the module data. If the use case is about moving the module files, there is package.path. If the use case is disambiguation of two modules with the same path, this conflicts with the definition of a module (e.g. two C modules with the same C symbol). |
| 19:05 | <~Vornicus> | here is my proposed rebuttal |
| 19:05 | <~Vornicus> | The thing with the modules is ... if MGL were a library where I would be manually loading individual submodules (like, say, [HUMP](https://github.com/HDictus/hump/tree/temp-master)), it would make a certain level of sense to insist that `package.path` include the interior of the MGL directory. It's not though: the additional files are loaded automatically and "invisibly" by the primary module, and are mainly there as an organization tool |
| 19:05 | <~Vornicus> | for the developers *of MGL*, so building the library so the package path doesn't need the innards is a reasonable expectation. In fact, most Lua environments (luajit, 5.2, and up) include `?/init.lua` as part of their default `package.path`, which would make renaming the main file to `init.lua` make even more sense. This is also the approach taken by [CPML](https://github.com/excessive/cpml/blob/master/init.lua#L35), [STI](https://github. |
| 19:05 | <~Vornicus> | com/karai17/Simple-Tiled-Implementation/blob/master/sti/init.lua#L17), and [Batteries](https://github.com/1bardesign/batteries/blob/master/init.lua#L8), among others. |
