            Bug ID: 2091484
           Summary: luarocks package should pull in lua-devel as a
                    dependency

           Version: rawhide
            Status: NEW
         Component: luarocks

    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:
A new Fedora user reported[1] problems using luarocks after install, because it
failed to compile a module after downloading it. The user eventually worked out
on their own that they needed to install lua-devel, but they shouldn't have had
to puzzle that solution out. By its very nature, luarocks needs to have the lua
headers available for it to function properly. It should pull in lua-devel as a
dependency automatically when installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
luarocks-3.7.0-3.fc35.noarch


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install luarocks
2. luarocks install --local lcurses
3.

Actual results:
"Error: Failed finding Lua header files. You may need to install them or
configure LUA_INCDIR."

Expected results:
Package compiles successfully
