Hi Hisham, For rocks that provide scripts in bin, luarocks copies those out to $TREE_ROOT/bin, but there's currently no way to add Unix man pages. Rather than special-casing certain directories, such as 'man' in the installed rock package trees (although that would be a useful feature in itself for more than just manual page hierarchies) I think it would be super-useful to have `luarocks path` set the MANPATH environment to include any install luarocks with top-level `man` directories.
As long as the installed rocks have `man` in install.copy_directories, and run "eval `luarocks path`" anyway, this puts manual pages where the `man` command can find them for free. Thoughts? Cheers, -- Gary V. Vaughan (gary AT vaughan DOT pe)
