Somehow, IIUC your explanations, you would like to be able to set an
'origin' as channel source. Something like that:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons*
(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri "https://example.org/archive.tar.gz")
(sha256
(base32
"0ssi1wpaf7plaswqqjwigppsg5fyh99vdlb9kzl7c9lng89ndq1i")))
(channel
(name 'extra)
(url "https://example.org/extra.git"))
%default-channels)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Therefore, it would be possible to have any VCS already supported.
However, it is fixed and update means change at least the checksum to
the channels.scm file.
Well, I do not know if it is more convenient than what Ludo and Leo
suggested. :-)
Cheers,
simon
