Description
Hi,
Has publishing luals to luarocks ever been on the radar/considered? With a custom luarocks build step it shouldn't be too complicated to invoke ninja to perform the build process and produce some output binaries.
The main benefit of publishing this to luarocks would be type checking and versioning. A Lua project could pull in the language server with whatever version it pleases in its test_dependencies and perform automated type checking on its codebase whenever luarocks test is invoked.
Thanks!

Research direction
The issue proposes publishing lua-language-server to LuaRocks, using a custom build step to invoke ninja and produce binaries. Start by investigating the project's existing build process and LuaRocks packaging conventions; done means a versioned package can be added as a test dependency and used by luarocks test for automated type checking.
