# asp

`asp` is a tool to manage the build source files used to create Arch Linux

packages. It replaces the `abs` tool, offering more up to date sources (via the

svntogit repositories) and uses a sparse checkout model to conserve diskspace.

This probably won't be interesting to users who want a full checkout (for

whatever reason that may be).

# Setup

None! Though, it should be noted that the `ASPROOT` environment variable

will control where `asp` keeps its local git repo. By default, this is

`${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/asp`.

# Examples

Get the source files for some packages:

~~~

asp export pacman testing/systemd extra/pkgfile

~~~

Get a fully functional git checkout of a single package:

~~~

asp checkout pkgfile

~~~

List the repositories a package has been pushed to:

~~~

asp list-repos pacman

~~~
