[luau] kpackage

[Eric Hattemer]

Sorry, when I said "newest versions of redhat", I was actually referring to
the beta version, although I didn't remember it in 7.3.  I don't doubt you
that its in redhat 7.3, but since its not in the beta, its likely that it
won't be in the next real version of redhat.  Its replaced by
redhat-config-packages, which at this point is barely functional.  Hopefully
that program will be great in the next version, but its pretty terrible
right now.
