DetailsDescription:
pkgctl-repo-clone needs a --depth option (like `asp export pgkname`) Per the tread on lists.archlinux "Is there "depth" control for pkgctl-repo-clone like "asp export" to get only the latest commit?", pkgctl-repo-clone needs a --depth option so it behaves like `asp export` allowing the fetch of the current package files only. If you are simply building the current package, then there is no need for the full clone with git-history (which can be very significant for large long-lived packages). This will also save bandwidth and costs for Arch. It would be fine to simply pass the '--depth X' option through to git. It would be very convenient to add an `-e --export` that would just pull the current PKGBUILD and current files without any git history at all (a true equivalent to `asp export pkgname`) |
