pacman-src - a simple ABS tool

Why this tool?

I wanted a simple tool to build packages from source from the official repos, and since pacbuilder-svn is dead (hasn't been updated since 2010), I thought I'd make my own.

Why would I want to use this tool?

You'd want to use this tool whenever you want to build multiple packages from source that are in the official repos.

How does this tool work?

This tool is fairly simple, it uses the svntogit repo to clone the packages.

How do I use this tool?

pacman-src [package]

for more information, please read:

and for usage details read

pacman-src -h

How can I install this tool?
It's in the AUR here
it's also on github here

if you have any questions, feel free to ask! tongue

I modified and uploaded the original PKGBUILD.

But the original source code on github hasn't been updated since 2010, so the project is 'dead' in my eyes.
