qluarocks

Simple cli wrapper around the original LuaRocks solves the issue of
installing several packages at once with one command.

Supports both the old luarocks version 2.x and the new 3.x one.
Works on top of the original luarocks, which does not support installing
multiple packages with one command.

Usage example:

qluarocks install lua-cjson LuaFileSystem luacheck ...whatever-you-want

When specific versions of packages are needed, they can be specified
using a comma:

qluarocks install luasocket:3.1.0-1 luasec:1.3.2-1 dkjson:2.6-1

There is also support for general options and key=value pairs per package:

qluarocks --lua-version=5.1 \
install lpeg lua-cjson luasqlite \
luasql-postgres PGSQL_INCDIR=/usr/include/postgresql \
PGSQL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/postgresql \
