[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

We could do it without cloning the repos, for example the "fennel"
package:

Note: This is probably not the best example because the current
generic-html updater could be adapted to work when the following patch
is applied but you get the idea.

Hi,

That's been implemented for a while ('guix refresh' is able to fetch git
repository for new tags and upgrade a package to the latest one).

Closing.
