some of us strongly disagree. admittedly, with no weight ...
Admittedly, packages like the .spec for nginx you linked are very far
outliers regarding package complexity.
I doubt there's many packages that need to reference *that* many
different source repos and tarballs ...
For these really complex cases, the forge macros are ~fine~, I guess.
But you really don't - and shouldn't - need to rely on hundreds of
lines of complex lua macros to be able to specify one or two GitHub
tarballs.
