If you want public attention to your library (a good thing usually —
public does find bugs), announcing on Lua ML is a good idea.

It works from here.

http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/

The website itself returns 503 though.

I suggest hosting a mirror on github.

As I wrote earlier, this construct works:

$ sudo luarocks install asklua
--only-from=https://github.com/agladysh/luarocks-mirror/raw/master/luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/
Installing 
https://github.com/agladysh/luarocks-mirror/raw/master/luarocks.org/repositories/

Hisham, is there a way we could setup such a mirror so it would be
updated when main repo is updated and it is not burdens you to
maintain it? I think that this would be good for the LuaRocks project.

(The most straightforward way is to put all this stuff under Git and
do commit and push each time — but I assume this is not comfortable
for you.)

Alexander.
