[SOLVED] asp build package

I have a question about using asp to build packages - once I get the [package] of interest, do I move it? or do I copy it? to my build directory on my pc.
The reason I ask is because where the package resides initially is a little confusing to me, the ...(git) - [master] location.

# asp checkout [package]

clones into git and gets the list and

# asp export [package]

gets the [package] of interest and shows location

~/.cache/asp/cache (git)-[master] # ls
[package]  remote-packages

  Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] asp build package

I'm not sure what you mean by "where the package resides initially is a little confusing to me, the ...(git) - [master] location", but if all you want is the current build files, use 'asp export' in the parent directory where you want a folder containing the build files to be created.

e.g.

$ cd ~/builds
$ asp export vim
remote: Counting objects: 1840, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1313/1313), done.
remote: Total 1840 (delta 587), reused 1610 (delta 509)
Receiving objects: 100% (1840/1840), 294.69 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (587/587), done.
From git://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages
 * branch            packages/vim -> FETCH_HEAD
 * [new branch]      packages/vim -> packages/packages/vim
==> exporting vim:trunk
$ cd vim
$ makepkg

You can move the folder or the contents wherever you want.

Use 'asp checkout' if you want the git history as well as the current build files.

Re: [SOLVED] asp build package

@ WorMzy - thank you. I realize dumb questions to move or copy. The suffix (git) - [master] in the path name on my computer after getting the package is what I didn't understand why it shows as a repo. Just first my first time using asp and hadn't seen that when using the ABS method in the past. You're answer makes complete sense as now I understand to run asp from my build directory.
