Second I decided to use the "sed magic" feature but run into a bug.
This is a really minor bug, but here it is:
# srcpac -So file-roller
sed: can't read /var/abs//file-roller/file-roller/PKGBUILD: No such file or directory
sed is right since the file is in /var/abs/extra/file-roller/PKBUILD
This only happens with the -So option, the -Sb option works just fine.
I tried to solve this, but my attempt was messing with other options, so it is best to leave it to the pros .
]]>Any way the next version could also support calling a different pacman binary? pacmatic supports setting the environment variable '$pacman_binary', so if srpac had it's own, one could chain srcpac -> pacmatic -> pacman-color, or whatever.
Chroot support will be added in 0.10.9
]]>Has anyone used srcpac and mkarchroot together? Is there a way to make mkarchroot use srcpac in place of pacman and can I set it up so it compiles everything for i586?
I'd like to build a small server to run on some old kit. This looks promising...
]]>see the ChangeLog for more.
]]>Error: failed to build "pidgin"
It gives me that for anything I try to install. Any ideas on what the issue is?
]]>Nope, srcpac is still valid, and it still works fine. It's not discontinued, just idle. pacman -S srcpac
There are several rather old requests here:

When will we see a new release ?
