Sorry for being unclear.
I mean that in the manual is something to the effect of "require(examples/example.lua)" *and* \inputminted{lua}{examples/example.lua}. These .lua files are *listed in* and *used by* the manual. But they are not needed for *using* the package.

I do, but I thought it was a requirement that the manuals (or any other resources) should be reproducible from the sources.

OK, so it *should* work as it is now, and given your previous comment I think it's ok to just try it out.

Thanks
