+# LuaRocks package infrastructure
+# see http://luarocks.org/
+#
+# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
+# package .mk files for LuaRocks packages.
+# LuaRocks supports various build.type : builtin, make, cmake.
+# This luarocks infrastructure supports only the builtin mode,
+# the make & cmake modes could be directly handled by generic & cmake infrastructure.
+#
+# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
+# infrastructure
+#
+# In terms of implementation, this LuaRocks infrastructure requires
+# the .mk file to only specify metadata informations about the
+# package: name, version, etc.

+# argument 1 is the lowercase package name

+# for host packages
+# argument 3 is the uppercase package name, without the HOST_ prefix
