@vbgl removing this will break the ability to conveniently overlay ocamlPackages.elpi in various CIs to anything else than released versions, which might be pretty unconvenient. Although I'm not sure how often we use that feature.
Cc @CohenCyril @gares ?

Right. So my question is: can we use metaFetch to download the released artifacts when available?

I use that feature via the coq nix toolbox.
But I also need elpi to have a version number (for conditional compilation).
I hope both requirements are not in conflict.

I don't know, but if not, maybe an option can be added?

Sure, feel free to amend the default-fetcher here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/coq/meta-fetch/default.nix
You can add an extra "artifact" argument (false by default?) to change the url in the github case here:
nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/coq/meta-fetch/default.nix

I use fetchurl when you probably use fetchzip?

Ah ... sure, but I thought the uncompressed archives were compared... why is the result different?

fetchurl does not decompress: it computes the hash of the downloaded file.
