I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. I load archives to
Github for LR all the time. See the rockspec for Telescope:

https://github.com/norman/telescope/blob/master/rockspecs/telescope-0.4.0-1.rockspec

All you have to do is change the host to the download permalink to "
cloud.github.com" and it works fine.

The problem that I think I see with the one here (and of course I may be
mistaken) is that if I do luarocks install "lua-zmq" today, I get the
current Git master, which might change tomorrow. So 1.0 on my machine may
have different code than 1.0 on yours, and that's less than ideal.

I usually do SCM rockspecs first, and then eventually package them as a full
release later. Not sure if these were added as SCM rockspecs, but it's a
little confusing to see a version AND a source repo that simply points to
master rather than a tag.

Regards,

Norman
