Not really - that way "chicken-install -retrieve" would be unable to retrieve the entire sources. The idea is that chicken-install's build process should be possible to run entirely offline. Instead, you could generate the tarballs yourself and host them somewhere. Or you could use git's subtree feature instead of submodule, perhaps Gitea *can* pack those. Cheers, Peter
