Registry

The central registry stores package manifests that point to Git repositories.

Registry Location

https://github.com/yanlvl99/lune-custom-build/tree/main/manifest

Each package has a JSON file: manifest/<package-name>.json

Manifest Format

{
  "name": "colors",
  "description": "ANSI color utilities for Luau",
  "repository": "https://github.com/someone/lune-colors.git"
}

Fields

Field	Required	Description
name	Yes	Package name (must match filename)
description	No	Brief description
repository	Yes	Git repository URL

Note: Version is not specified in the manifest. The installer fetches the latest semver tag from the repository.

Adding a Package to Registry

1. Fork the registry repository
2. Add your manifest file to /manifest/<name>.json
3. Open a Pull Request

Example PR

Add 'my-package' to registry

manifest/my-package.json:
{
  "name": "my-package",
  "description": "My awesome Lune package",
  "repository": "https://github.com/me/my-package.git"
}

How Resolution Works

1. User runs lune --install colors
2. Installer fetches manifest/colors.json from registry
3. Reads repository field
4. Lists remote git tags
5. Parses tags as semver, sorts descending
6. Clones at the highest version tag

Self-Hosted Registry

You can use a custom registry by modifying the REGISTRY_REPO constant in the Lune source code.
