@@ -5,14 +5,14 @@ Gall is an abstraction layer to provide access to Git repositories for Lua programs. It combines access via the Git binaries by use of [Luxio]'s ability to run external programs and direct access via [libgit2]. -In order to provide for platforms where libgit2 is not packaged, Gall submodules -a libgit2 version into place and binds it using a very simple C/Lua module. -For platforms which already have libgit2 present, Gall can be built against -that instead of against the internal copy. For platforms where libgit2 -does not work, Gall can always use the external Git binary instead. +For platforms where libgit2 does not work, Gall can always use the external Git +binary instead. -For examples of how to use Gall, see the `examples/` directory. +Note, gall should work with Lua 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3; but the test suite run by +the Makefile requires at least 5.2 in order to blacklist any system gall module +present. We recommend that any packaging should build-conflict with an +installed gall module in order to ensure build-time tests are clean. -[Luxio]: http://www.rjek.com/software.html -[luagit2]: http://www.github.com/libgit2/luagit2/ +[Luxio]: https://git.gitano.org.uk/luxio.git/ +[luagit2]: https://github.com/libgit2/luagit2/ |
