hello,
i would like to maintain local copy of all pkgbuilds and associated tarballs, patches, and what not that is needed to build a package. my main catalyst behind this is that i do not always have an internet connection and i find myself need to recompile a package or just would like to have available src code for offline viewability. to my knowledge archlinux does not have src ISOs.
i looked into the manpages and '--allsource' switch for makepkg along with 'makeworld' could be leveraged to accomplish what i'm trying to do. they only thing i'm worried about is if the combination of these commands can be used to perform incremental syncs monthly to maintain fresh copy of archlinux source code,
any help and guidance is appreciated, thanks

Have you looked at asp?
looks like a pretty neat tool over abs, but it doesn't seem to interpret PKGBUILD files to fetch the needed tarballs etc like makepkg would do.
for now i copied /var/abs to ~/ and i cd into {core,extra,..} and use this:
for d in *; do cd $d; makepkg --allsource --verifysource -f; cd ..; done
