I am somewhat lazy so if a new version of a recipe has to be made I'd
like to touch as little as possible.
(the less I have to do the less chance of an error occurring)
So preferably I would use PV an PN in the url and not copy it from
somewhere (as that is more error prone too.

(btw I can also envision a new bitbake task which will rewrite the checksums).
