I wonder if I can define my own package archive, so that I can control everything easily, without setting up a full-blown archive with tarballs and a server. Because I’m not going to download any tarballs from the archive, and will only use package-vc-install on this personal archive. IOW a package archive that only provide package specs. Is that possible?
