Just to be sure, one way is this extension mechanism,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (qt-urls component version)
"Return a list of URLs for VERSION of the Qt5 COMPONENT."
;; We can't use a mirror:// scheme because these URLs are not exact copies:
;; the layout differs between them.
(list (string-append "https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/"
(version-major+minor version) "/" version
"/submodules/" component "-everywhere-opensource-src-"
version ".tar.xz")
(string-append "https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/"
(version-major+minor version) "/" version
"/submodules/" component "-everywhere-src-"
version ".tar.xz")
(string-append "https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/"
(version-major+minor version) "/" version
"/submodules/" component "-everywhere-opensource-src-"
version ".tar.xz")
(let ((directory (string-append "qt5" (string-drop component 2))))
(string-append "http://sources.buildroot.net/" directory "/"
component "-everywhere-opensource-src-" version
".tar.xz"))
(string-append "https://distfiles.macports.org/qt5/"
component "-everywhere-opensource-src-" version
".tar.xz")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
then,
(uri (qt-urls name version))
Right? Well, for what it is worth, it does not appear to me consistent
with the rest. We could do the same for everything, and remove
"mirror://" after all. :-)
The other one way is to implement a variant of url-fetch method. What
would be the interface? Where the extended list of mirrors would be
provided?
