asp
asp is a tool to manage the build source files used to create Arch Linux
packages. It replaces the abs tool, offering more up to date sources (via the
svntogit repositories) and uses a sparse checkout model to conserve diskspace.
This probably won't be interesting to users who want a full checkout (for
whatever reason that may be).
Setup
None! Though, it should be noted that the ASPROOT environment variable
will control where asp keeps its local git repo. By default, this is
${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/asp.
Examples
Get the source files for some packages:
asp export pacman testing/systemd extra/pkgfile
Get a fully functional git checkout of a single package:
asp checkout pkgfile
List the repositories a package has been pushed to:
asp list-repos pacman
