YES! We are listening... :) Sorry about the delay on feedback
about the fink package.
In the ideal world of the week with 14 days, we would like to
have RPM, fink and others under LuaBinaries. But we simply do not
have the time to do it, at least for the moment.
In fact we do supervise packaging activities on the list. For
example, the Debian package uses a nomenclature in UNIX different
than ours, but it seems to be binary compatible, so a link solves
the problem.
Another example is that apparently Fedora needs its own naming
convention. BTW there is a Lua 5.0.2 package already available in
Fedora using the Add/Remove Programs clone in the GNOME interface.
About the Lua fink package I did not try it. Since I struggle
with fink the last time I tried to install what I want, my
motivation was drowned way... My Mac is now offline after the last
update from Apple, don't know what happen, the local network is
working but it does not access the Internet. So I will need first
to fix this.
For now LuaBinaries is a "binaries only" distribution. How to
install that binary on the system is another step we still have to
make.
Best,
