So what are you saying, did anyone actually look at the patch? I didn't change the existing --source option one bit, that *still* only includes local source files. All I did was add a completely new --allsource option that allows you to also build an src.tar.gz with all source, local and remote. How much more flexible can we get than having two options here? -Dan _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
