srcget 0.1 introduced

[tavvva]

srcget is a tiny tool for downloading sources from the source repository. It guides the user by listing the available packages and their versions.

Typical usage sequence :]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) without params
$ srcget
DeLi(cate) version not specified!

Usage: srcget [delicate-version [package-name [package-version]]]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) with DeLi(cate) version
$ srcget 0.1
Package name not specified!

Usage: srcget [delicate-version [package-name [package-version]]]

Available sources:
abe
abiword
ace-of-penguins
...
...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.) with package name
$ srcget 0.1 xlockmore
Package version not specified!

Usage: srcget [delicate-version [package-name [package-version]]]

Available versions:
5.33-4
5.33-5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.) with package version
$ srcget 0.1 xlockmore 5.33-5

...
...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you should have all the files from http://delicate-linux.net/0.1/src/xlockmore/5.33-5/ remote directory downloaded in the newly created ./0.1/xlockmore/5.33-5/ local directory.

srcget 0.2.1 has been released. This version introduces a possibility to define a fixed target directory for storing the tree of sources. The target directory is configurable via the target_path variable defined in the ~/.srgcetrc file.

You can simply configure the target directory with the following or similar command:

echo 'target_path=~/sources' > ~/.srcgetrc

Note: The target directory ~/sources needs to exist (and needs to be writable)
