#67289: lua-luarocks explicitly does not install `luarocks` command ?
----------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  jrjsmrtn  |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.8.1
 Keywords:            |       Port:  lua-luarocks
----------------------+--------------------------
 The `lua-luarocks` Portfile explicitly prevents the installation of
 `luarocks`, `luarocks-admin` commands in its `post-destroot` step:

 {{{
 foreach branch          ${lua.branches} {
     subport lua[join [split ${branch} .] ""]-luarocks {
         lua.version     ${branch}

         post-destroot {
             # only install the Lua module files
             foreach dir {bin etc} {
                 delete  ${destroot}${prefix}/${dir}
             }
         }
 }}}

 Moreover, performing a `sudo port select --set luarocks lua51-luarocks`
 creates invalid symbolic links.

 Is there a reason for that ? Is there another way of installing Lua rocks
 ?
