# luarocks pack Create a rock, packing sources or binaries. ## Usage `luarocks pack { | []}` Argument may be a rockspec file, for creating a source rock, or the name of an installed package, for creating a binary rock. In the latter case, the package version may be given as a second argument. ## Examples ``` luarocks pack luafilesystem 1.4.0 ``` Assuming you have LuaFileSystem 1.4.0 installed in your local tree, this creates in the current directory a file called `luafilesystem-1.4.0-1.linux-x86.rock` (filename will of course vary according to the platform), using the binary that is already installed. ``` luarocks pack copas-1.1.1-1.rockspec ``` Assuming you have `copas-1.1.1-1.rockspec` in the current directory, this creates (also in the current directory) a file called `copas-1.1.1-1.src.rock`, fetching sources as specified in the rockspec.
