Re: [ANN] LuaRocks 2.0.1

[Geoff Leyland <geoff_leyland@...>]

Hi Fabio,

Sorry for not explaining better.

Yes, I did that (after trying once to see if LuaRocks handled being in  
a different root to Lua) and everything's working fine.  As I said,  
it's really not a big deal, but it'd just be nice if, when LuaRocks  
detected Lua somewhere unusual, it either said "you might want to  
change PREFIX" or "it'll take a bit of fiddling to make this work".

Cheers,
Geoff
