Lua packages are built by the <varname>buildLuaPackage</varname> function.
|
|
This function is implemented in
|
|
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/lua-modules/generic/default.nix">
|
|
<filename>pkgs/development/lua-modules/generic/default.nix</filename></link>
|
|
and works similarly to <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname>. (See
|
|
<xref linkend="sec-language-perl"/> for details.)

Lua packages are defined in
|
|
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/lua-packages.nix"><filename>pkgs/top-level/lua-packages.nix</filename></link>.
|
|
Most of them are simple. For example:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
fileSystem = buildLuaPackage {
|
|
name = "filesystem-1.6.2";
|
|
src = fetchurl {
|
|
url = "https://github.com/keplerproject/luafilesystem/archive/v1_6_2.tar.gz";
|
|
sha256 = "1n8qdwa20ypbrny99vhkmx8q04zd2jjycdb5196xdhgvqzk10abz";
|
|
};
|
|
meta = {
|
|
homepage = "https://github.com/keplerproject/luafilesystem";
|
|
hydraPlatforms = stdenv.lib.platforms.linux;
|
|
maintainers = with maintainers; [ flosse ];
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>

Though, more complicated package should be placed in a seperate file in
|
|
<link
|
|
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/lua-modules"><filename>pkgs/development/lua-modules</filename></link>.
|
|
</para>

|
Lua packages accept additional parameter <varname>disabled</varname>, which
|
|
defines the condition of disabling package from luaPackages. For example, if
|
|
package has <varname>disabled</varname> assigned to <literal>lua.luaversion
|
|
!= "5.1"</literal>, it will not be included in any luaPackages except
|
|
lua51Packages, making it only be built for lua 5.1.
