Publish to luarocks with automated semver versioning/releases

[simifalaye]

I believe this repo would benefit from publishing to luarocks for rocks.nvim and lazy.nvim users. On top of the reasons provided in the rocks.nvim and the nvim-best-practices repos, another reason is that this plugin produces/deploys a binary that needs to be available on a user's machine so deploying that to luarocks would simplify that deployment since both rocks.nvim and lazy.nvim support the use of a rockspec.

See this repo for detailed instructions: https://github.com/nvim-neorocks/sample-luarocks-plugin

Is this something you'd be interested in taking on? I'm open to using luarocks as long as we can ship the binaries for all supported platforms (linux musl, linux glibc, mac, windows msvc). I have my hands full with some bigger upcoming changes but I'd like to get this sorted before 1.0.

I believe you're already aware of this, but for others, @benlubas provided a reference impl here: b9a195b (#105)

Potentially. @mrcjkb, would you be interested as I'm sure it would take you much less time to get it set up since you'd done it for a bunch of plugins already?

I'm busy this weekend, but might be able to find some time to look into it soon after 😄

@mrcjkb have you had some time to look at this yet?

[mrcjkb]

not yet I'm afraid. Been too focused on rocks development 😅
