  Ok. We have a RPM spec at LuaForge in:

      http://luaforge.net/projects/luarpms/

  They are for Lua 5.0.2. And we would like to add support for Lua 
5.1, but using the LuaBinaries definitions:

      http://luabinaries.luaforge.net/

  In fact, the only important parameter is the name of the 
executables and libraries.

  It will be better to do:

     "yum install lua5.1"

  So in the future, several Lua versions can coexist in the same system.

  What you think?  Let me know if I can help.

Best,
