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?
