No, I mean adding patches like this:
(define %CVE-1970-0001.patch
(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri "https://example.com/CVE-2017-0001.patch";)
(sha256
(base32
"12c60iwxyc3rj6ih06a1g80vmkf8khvhm44xr9va4h21b74v8f5k"))))
(package
(...
(patches (list (search-patch "guix-specific-stuff.patch")
%CVE-1970-0001.patch)))
That only requires the built-in guix downloader.
