I was also considering a similar mechanism for the vendoring thingy...

My initial thought was to have a ways to extend this extra format version. I am not entirely sure how to do it, but probably something along the lines of:

    define cargo-inner
    $(2)_VENDOR_VERSION = _cargo
    endef

    define generic-inner
    $(2)_SOURCE_EXT = $$($(2)_VENDOR_VERSION)$$(BR_FMT_VERSION_$$($(2)_SITE_METHOD)).tar.gz
    endef

But this is not as nice as I'd like it to be... If you have another idea, please be my guest. ;-)

Hum, yes, that's an idea. We would still to change in lock-step all .hash files for all cargo/go packages, even the ones that don't need any vendoring.

Fortunately, we do not yet have as many cargo (0) or go (8) packages as we have git-based downloads... ;-)

We also end up with pretty weird tarball names, like _cargo_br1.tar.gz.

Well, this would be for a git-based download. A wget-based download would get foo-1.2_cargo.tar.gz...

Quoted 1 line

But oh well, perhaps that the price to pay to get all of this to work ?

Yes, I don't mind much about that naming. I just think we should make it simple to write packages and hashes, with simple rules.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
