Well, since we're all Lua programmers here, I suppose this is readable
enough? :)

http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/zile-3-1.rockspec
----------------------
package = "zile"
version = "3-1"
description = {
  summary = "Zile Implements Lua Editors",
  homepage = "http://www.gnu.org/s/zile";,
  license = "GPLv3+",
  detailed = "An editor building kit, bundled with zmacs: a
lightweight Emacs clone.",
}
source = {
  url = "http://github.com/gvvaughan/zile/archive/release-v3.zip";,
  dir = "zile-release-v3",
}
dependencies = {
  "alien >= 0.7.0",
  "lua >= 5.2",
  "luaposix >= 29",
  "lua-stdlib >= 35",
  "lrexlib-gnu >= 2.7.1",
}
external_dependencies = nil
build = {
  build_command = "./configure LUA='$(LUA)'
LUA_INCLUDE='-I$(LUA_INCDIR)' --prefix='$(PREFIX)'
--libdir='$(LIBDIR)' --datadir='$(LUADIR)' && make clean all",
  copy_directories = {
    "bin",
    "doc",
  },
  type = "command",
  install_command = "make install luadir='$(LUADIR)'",
}
----------------------

If anything in the above description is not clear enough, please let
us know. But as you can see, for Zile it's a Github archive plus the
good old configure-make-make-install sequence. For other rockspecs
which use LuaRocks' builtin build procedure the description of "what
goes where" is even more readable. You can simply think of a rockspec
as a 'formal' description of the install procedure.
