I saw the announcement of LuaRocks 2.2.0-2. I tried updating (using
"luarocks install luarocks") and the short version of it---I ended up having
to nuke *just about everything* (I kept /usr/local/etc/luarocks) related to
luarocks and start over [1]. I do have the latest git repo cloned, and,
wanting luarocks installed in my local
$HOME/.luarocks tree, made sure the configuration is configured as such.
Running from ~/apps/luarocks/src:

CONFIGURATION
Lua version: 5.1
Configuration files:
System: /etc/luarocks/config.lua (not found)
User : /home/spc/.luarocks/config-5.1.lua (ok)
Rocks trees in use:
/home/spc/.luarocks
[spc]lucy:~/.luarocks/bin>
I'm concerned about two things:
1) that luarocks/site_config.lua wasn't copied.
2) that it's not defaulting to /usr/local/etc/luarocks.
I don't know if there's an actual bug here or what, but this upgrade has
been a rather nasty one.

[1] It may have had something to do with initially installing LuaRocks
via source a long time ago, then switching to updating via luarocks
itself. I also use a local tree in $HOME/.luarocks, with
appropriate $LUA_PATH and $LUA_CPATH pointing there first before
hitting /usr/local directories for Lua modules.
That's a guess on my part since I mucked up a few instances of
LuaRocks on several machines (sadly, I wasn't paying attention to
which window what logged into what machine), and I'm willing to
admit that the entire thing might have been my fault at some level.
