Got error:

$ luarocks make rockspec/lua-aplicado-scm-1.rockspec --pack-binary-rock --only-from=.

Error: Your user does not have write permissions in /usr/local/
-- you may want to run as a privileged user or use your local tree with --local.

while I thought that "luarocks make --pack-binary-rock" doesn't actually need to get anything from /usr/local.
