[Solved] Use git sources from SRCDEST outside of makepkg

Under my SRCDEST folder resides mesa/ which stores the git main tree of the mesa project.

$ ls mesa/
branches  config  description  FETCH_HEAD  HEAD  hooks  info  objects  packed-refs  refs
$ 

When running makepkg it "converts" that to a tree as seen at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa and stores it in SRCDIR .

Occasionally I create patches for mesa and need a full uptodate tree of it to ensure the patch will ap0ply cleanly .

I can use git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.git to get it, but that means re-downloading stuff .

Using the code that's already stored under SRCDEST seems much smarter and faster (and requires less traffic) .

What command)s) do I need to re-use the code under SRCDEST outside of makepkg ?

Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Ah, you mean you just want to clone it to some other working directory??

git clone $SRCDEST/$gitname /path/to/new/dir
