For tarball flakes, the value of the `lastModified` flake attribute is
defined as the timestamp of the newest file inside the tarball.
## Gitea and Forgejo support
This protocol is supported by Gitea since v1.22.1 and by Forgejo since v7.0.4/v8.0.0 and can be used with the following flake URL schema:
```
https://<domain name>/<owner>/<repo>/archive/<reference or revison>.tar.gz
```
> **Example**
>
>
> ```nix
> # flake.nix
> {
> inputs = {
> foo.url = "https://gitea.example.org/some-person/some-flake/archive/main.tar.gz";
> bar.url = "https://gitea.example.org/some-other-person/other-flake/archive/442793d9ec0584f6a6e82fa253850c8085bb150a.tar.gz";
> qux = {
> url = "https://forgejo.example.org/another-person/some-non-flake-repo/archive/development.tar.gz";
> flake = false;
> };
> };
> outputs = { foo, bar, qux }: { /* ... */ };

`.tgz`, `.tar.gz`, `.tar.xz`, `.tar.bz2` or `.tar.zst`), then the `tarball+`
can be dropped.
This can also be used to set the location of gitea/forgejo branches. [See here](@docroot@/protocols/tarball-fetcher.md#gitea-and-forgejo-support)
* `file`: Plain files or directory tarballs, either over http(s) or from the local
disk.
