[JW Lua] Repository layout draft, version 3

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

That's an important question. In the draft, the "require" files are 
called "Libraries" and they are intended to be listable separately.

However, my aim is that script downloading should be handled 
transparently for the end user. The developer who uploads a script 
should be able to set the dependencies needed for the script. So for a 
normal script, the end user should not need to bother with the library 
files if they exist in the repository. Perhaps I'll just include a 
checkbox for including library scripts in the listing.

The downloaded scripts will be put in a subfolder specific to each 
developer (so multiple developers can have scripts with the same file name).

The downloadable library files (the "require" files) however, will all 
be put in the same folder, so here it's important that the file name of 
that library script file is unique.

One thing I haven't yet solved is how it will handle the versions of 
libraries. Requiring a plugindef() doesn't sound like such a good 
solution for library files.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
