Hi,
was just written in another mail, I'm currently working on a
erlang/rebar build system. This includes an importer from hex.pm, a
package repository for elixir and erlang packages. (Since this is build
into rebar3 I assume it what PyPI is for Python and CPAN for Perl.)
At hex.pm, packages are provided in a tarfile [1] wrapping the source
tar-file:
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 1 2017-06-14 21:57 VERSION
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 64 2017-06-14 21:57 CHECKSUM
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 532 2017-06-14 21:57 metadata.config
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 4744 2017-06-14 21:57 contents.tar.gz
IMHO it does not make sense to keep this wrapping tar-file in the store.
So my idea is to create a "hexpm-fetch" method, which downloads the
tar-file and only stores the "content.tar.gz" in the store (using a
proper name, of course).
How can this be done?
