 `:fetcher`
-:   specifies the type of repository that `:url` points to.  Right now package-build supports [git][git], [github][github], [subversion (svn)][svn], [darcs][darcs], and [Emacs Wiki (wiki)][emacswiki] as possible mechanisms for checking out the repository.  With the exception of the Emacs Wiki fetcher, package-build uses the corresponding application to update files before building the package.  The Emacs Wiki fetcher gets the latest version of the package from `http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/<NAME>.el` where `NAME` is the package name.  Note that the `:url` property is not needed for the `wiki` engine unless the name of the package file on the EmacsWiki differs from the package name being built. In the case of the `github` fetcher, use `repo` instead of `url`; the git URL will then be deduced.
