NAME

sourcepkg - Generate and compile source package files.  

SYNOPSIS

sourcepkg [ --create ] [ --build srcpkgfile ]  

DESCRIPTION

sourcepkg generates and compiles package files of a different format that the rest of the pkg tools use. In order to generate a pkg-compliant binary package file, a developer may perform the makepkg command on the current directory, the buildpkg command on a build instruction file, or the sourcepkg --build command on a source package file. Source packages are essentially the tarred equivalents of the buildpkg directories where build files are kept, so they contain all of the source files required to actually perform the build.  

OPTIONS

--create
When this option is specified, sourcepkg will generate a source package file using the contents of the current working directory.
--build srcpkgfile
This option will cause sourcepkg to extract the source files from a given source package file and compile them into a binary package file.
