Hi.

man luarocks says:
  list   Lists currently installed rocks.

This means (i.e. it's a feature, not a bug) that it doesn't
detect installed modules.  E.g. if I've done
  aptitude install liblua5.1-posix1
in order to get a version of luaposix less out-of-date than
the 5.1.2 offered as a rock, then
  luarocks list
can't see it.  However, it is there, and from the user's POV
it would be useful to be informed that it's there.  Seems to
me it might be useful to have something like:
  luarocks LIST
  luarocks longlist
  luarocks listall
which would just traverse the require-path reporting all modules.
Perhaps even also the full filenames, to make it easy to find
the source;  perhaps also pointing out module-name conflicts
and version-conflicts, and which file will actually get invoked
by a "require".  (I realise though that version information is
carried in the rock and tarball, rather than in the module...)
(Apologies if this is a discredited old topic.)
