The next version of LuaRocks (currently in git) is able to handle that. It downloads the correct manifest from the server (manifest-5.1 or manifest-5.2) depending on the Lua version you're running. My plan is to make a new release of LuaRocks next week. > In fact, the mentioned rockspec have a bug in its dependencies, > since that source version is not compatible with "lua >= 5.1".

There is a special operator "~>" to handle all versions in a range (ie, "lua ~> 5.2" for all 5.2.x) -- For Lua specifically it is not necessary because Lua's _VERSION declares only x.y (so "lua = 5.2" works), but in any case I think it would be good documentation. I'll upload a new revision of 20070717 with "lua ~> 5.1" and your new one with "lua ~> 5.2".
