Name        : luarocks
Product     : Fedora 20
Version     : 2.1.2
Release     : 1.fc20
URL         : http://luarocks.org
Summary     : A deployment and management system for Lua modules
Description :
LuaRocks allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages
called "rocks", which also contain version dependency
information. This information is used both during installation, so
that when one rock is requested all rocks it depends on are installed
as well, and at run time, so that when a module is required, the
correct version is loaded. LuaRocks supports both local and remote
repositories, and multiple local rocks trees.

Update Information:

Changes in 2.1.2:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-01/msg00257.html
* a new command, "luarocks doc <module>" that tries to find any installed documentation.
* a rocks_provided configuration entry in which you can preload
dependencies that are already fulfilled in your system; a few defaults are included
* generated script wrappers are now more robust
* Minor performance improvements
* Support for "named trees", so you can label your rocks trees and use flags such as --tree=system  or --tree=user instead of the full path
* `luarocks` with no arguments presents more useful diagnostics
* plus assorted bugfixes

Changes in 2.1.1:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2013-10/msg00800.html
* Remote manifests are now compressed and locally cached, making commands faster
* New command "write_rockspec" which generates rockspec file templates
* detection of multiarch directories on Linux
* New --force=fast option for 'luarocks remove'
* New --local-tree flag for 'luarocks-admin make-manifest'

Changes in 2.1.0:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2013-08/msg00137.html

* accesses manifest-{5.1,5.2} in remote servers to provide properly filtered results for Lua 5.1 or 5.2
* Remove old versions when installing a new one and old versions are no longer needed to honor dependencies.
* 'make bootstrap' is now an advertised option for installing LuaRocks itself as a rock on Unix systems
* 'luarocks purge --old-versions' for cleaning up a local tree
* --keep flag to produce the old behavior of keeping old versions
around (can be made permanent setting keep_old_versions=true in the config file)
* security config options 'accepted_build_types' and 'hooks_enabled'
