A few more month+ old PRs:
Perhaps a little niche, but for a variety of reasons, sometimes software is published on Tor’s darknet, and so here’s a fetcher that can download from .onion addresses. (I don’t think this should be any more scandalous than having fetchtorrent
master ← rhendric:rhendric/fetchtor
opened 04:38AM - 08 Jun 25 UTC
This is a fetcher that wraps another fetcher and proxies its HTTP requests throu… gh Tor. This is useful if the canonical source for a piece of software is not available in the clearnet, but can only be fetched from an `.onion` link.
The wrapped fetcher is selected from `fetchgit`, `fetchzip`, or `fetchurl`, based on whether there is a `rev` attribute or whether the `url` attribute looks like an archive. It can also be explicitly specified if the default selection isn't correct or if a different fetcher is desired. See tests for examples.
