lets call this optional extra field in in the package not package_root_url but just url and use this directly as the URL if present. Ie instead of concatenating the package_root_url with pkg.filename we directly use url if url is existing in the pkg object

I agree, will update the PR. On a side note, does the file extension matter? Or I can save my packages to other file extensions than tar.gz?

tar.gz

Do you just want to have a different ending or do you actually want to use a different compression format?
Atm is has to be a gzip'ed tarball.
The actual ending of the file should not matter that much

Just ending. I learned with a client that their proxy blocks downloading tar.gz file but not others. They can use this URL config to trick their proxy
