Well, remember. It wasn't me suggesting the use of PV. However, at least at
first it really sounded like a
sensible goal.

I have been there before, but, unfortunately, Avnu's libavtp on github only
uses their archive [1] and not some
other download facility whose use is also discouraged as per [2].
I mean I guess I could just rename the recipe and otherwise keep relying on git
with a hash but that also does
not seem like a really good option (e.g. keeping PV and hash in sync and/or
even checking on this would be a
completely manual task). Not sure. I hope somebody more experienced might
present the golden trick to this
dilemma. Thanks!
