idea for hosting lua script files

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
Lua scripts could potentially be used to write something very much like our existing plugins. They'd in many cases be slower than native C plugins would be, but for many purposes speed is either unimportant, or the differences would not make any difference in usability.

In the case of well written Lua plugins, I'm sure at some point in the future we'll be discussing whether one is suitable for inclusion. Of course, exactly like patches, anything being submitted for inclusion belongs on the tracker.

alexwallis646:
In that case, perhaps a new entry should be created in the types of patches list for lua scripts, unless that would just get confusing if we had both a wiki page and an option on the tracker.

Llorean:
It really depends on what people are trying to do with them. Sample scripts, coding examples, and basic utility scripts can probably stay on the wiki.

Things that are intended for inclusion in Rockbox should go on the tracker.

It shouldn't get confusing, because people shouldn't be using things on the tracker. They should be developing them, and trying to fix them so that they can be included. Once they're included or rejected, there's once again nothing on the tracker to get confused about.
