Basically you propose to have a src_whatever function that will work as |
| 11 |
a substitute for src_unpack() in case you don't find the tarball on |
| 12 |
mirrors, isn't it? |
| 13 |
That could work too, but what if, depending on some useflag, I need to |
| 14 |
patch the source tree? Because the new function must be capable to |
| 15 |
replace src_unpack, you will have to add a command like "use foo && |
| 16 |
epatch ..." at the end of the new function. If foo useflag is enabled on |
| 17 |
your system, the external tool that build the tarball will create it |
| 18 |
based on a wrongly patched source tree. |
