This corresponds the "Download" link on the CTAN page of each package, but unfortunately, is not always in TDS format. For example, for pgf (which is locate at /graphics/pgf/base), we have
https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base.zip
which lists all tex related files in base/tex sub-directory. The CTAN page (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf) also has a field "TDS Archive", which lists:
http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip
which is TDS compliant. The same is the case for circuitikz and pgfplots. So, it safer to use
"http://mirrors.ctan.org/" .. data.ctan.path .. "/" .. pkg_name .. "tds.zip"
But, for context packages, CTAN does nto have the tds zips (I guess because the default zip is already TDS compliant). For example:
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/context-filter
has the "download" link at the bottom but not the "TDS Archive" link.
In the end, since I am only installing 4-5 packages, it is simpler to input the URLs but hand rather than write code to automate the logic.
