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
