Hi,
Coming back to what it would take to fully specify sources in
an arch archive so that users can download the sources, I think that
the best thing to use would be to provide a URL for a grab file. The
grab file has a syntax:
,----
| Archive-Name: [the name of the archive]
| Archive-Location: [the location of the archive]
| Target-Revision: [PACKAGE|VERSION|REVISION to get]
| Target-Directory: [optional][The suggested directory to get into]
| Target-Config: [optional][A configuration to build upon grabbing]
`----
I would also like to change the field name to XS-VCS-Arch
(tla is one implementation, baz is another, the VCS is called arch).
