support for packages local to a repository

[samoht]

Would be great if repositories could support something like:

/compilers
/packages
/random/src/path

Where some packages could have sources stored in random/src/path. Currently only absolute paths are handled, which makes it impractical to distribute the repository.

You mean something like /archives/, but in uncompressed form ?
Or something like a url file pointing to a path relative to the repository root ?

I think either of those would work but uncompressed, symlinked /archives/ subdirectories would be nicer.

I think I found a workaround which already works: make the files directory a symlink to your actual source code. This seems to work with my limited testing...

Yes I was more thinking to that to that initially, so you can put your source code wherever you wants (not necessary in archives/)
