    A command to upgrade all installed rocks

    +

    Brief explanation

    + +

    +LuaRocks users have wanted luarocks upgrade for a long +time, but implementing it is not trivial and will involve trade-offs (see +the GitHub issue +and +this +email). The goal of this project is to identify those trade-offs clearly, +document them, come to a decision regarding their resolution, and finally +implement the command.
