Okay, looks like I was able to build a manifest for my system packages using
this config:
rocks_trees = {
[[/home/tnharris]],
{
root = [[/usr]],
bin_dir = [[/usr/bin]],
lua_dir = [[/usr/share/lua/5.1]],
lib_dir = [[/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.1]],
rocks_dir = [[/usr/share/luarocks/rocks-5.1]]
},
[[/usr/local]],
}
I still had to manually download rockspecs and create a rock_manifest but that
could be automated by the system. I didn't see the rock_manifest documented,
is it a stable format?
I suppose the only thing LuaRocks could do to help is being able to put a
read-only flag on the tree. That and fixing the tree argument in
make_manifest.
