srcpac -Qi fails to output anything

Starting to experiment with srcpac and built a trivial package (htop) but when I attempt to query it to see the "from source" flag, I just get the standard help options. Am I missing something?

$ srcpac -Qi htop
usage:  srcpac {-h --help}
        srcpac {-V --version}
        srcpac {-R --remove}  [options] <package(s)>
        srcpac {-S --sync}    [options] [package(s)]
        srcpac {-U --upgrade} [options] <file(s)>

srcpac's options are based on pacman, so check the pacman man page
srcpac adds some option to -S:
-b, builds the targets from source
-e, edit PKGBUILD with your favorite editor
-o, applies config changes and displays the PKGBUILD in your pager app without building

srcpac is old and essentially unmaintained afaik... I think bauerbill does building from source and given that is still developed is probably a better option.

Thanks, Allan. Xyne is a very talented developer/I love powerpill. Am trying bauerbill now.

My fault, I re-added this option in git. Please try srcpac 0.8. Also, file a bug/feature request on flyspray (under the Pacman project) when you find something or you have some wishes. Thanks
