(look under Downloads in http://luadist.org/)
It includes a luarocks installation out of the box, but the problem is that
it works completely independently. Although luasocket etc is present, it
will insist on downloading and installing (probably failing in this case)
into its own tree. So what's required is a fake LR manifest created from
the existing list of packages in this distro, and then LR can safely deploy
packages into the main package path. This is best of both worlds; starting
from a defined set of built binaries and allowing LR to fetch new or exotic
libraries which just depend on those binaries.
