[SOLVED] Adding non apt-get packages to container-based infrastructure apt list

Issue

I've opened up issues #785 and #786 to have Luacheck and Busted added the the travis-ci container system. However these are installed with Luarocks (which is already on the apt list). The commands are luarocks install busted and luarocks install luacheck. What is the process for getting packages like this installed on travis' container-based-infrastructure; as they require sudo to install?

Solution

Easiest way is to have a local install of luarocks as done by https://github.com/moteus/lua-travis-example. AFAIK, that's the only way to do that without sudo.

(FYI, those issues will fail as luarocks is a Ubuntu package as shown by http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=luarocks but Luacheck and Busted aren't)
