I never liked these specific deployment systems and rather just built
RPMs in the first place, but if someone is willing to do and *maintain*
it: go for it!
I agree that it's not ideal; however, given that we have a small set of
Lua packages, it probably makes sense to focus on integrating well with
the wide range of Lua "rocks" out there.
I'll of course maintain it -- the nice thing is that we can gradually
convert our Lua packages (I don't think there's a way to automate
creation of rock descriptors, the way there is for Python eggswith
distutils).
