I second that. Github's tracker is crude, but at least the issues
don't get lost and you can comment on topic.

Isn't that where C modules are placed? What's wrong with it? AFAIU
it's a feature as you can point package.cpath to it and forget how the
modules got there (i.e. don't have to load luarocks.require).

I thought you can put anything in rockspecs. If not, I need that too.

I'm sure that if you fork the repo, do your fixes and then push it
back then your changes will be accepted if they make sense. The
tracker comes in handy here so you can avoid duplicate effort. Basic
open development stuff I guess :)

PS: Your use case for compression options intrigue me -- last time I
used it I had a 486 :)
