Is there an Artix equivalent to `pkgctl`?

I see that `artools` replaces `devtools`, but I don't see how to facilitate downloading sources from the official repos.

Is there a tool for this on Artix?

We use artixpkg instead. It's a part of artools-pkg. I'm not actually sure if using the clone command with that works if you're not a dev/don't have permissions (never tried). You can always just "git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/${package}" though.

I'd like something that fetches the package folder, in case you want to build it.

Can you use artixpkg for that?

Just use the git clone command like I said above.

Code: [Select]
artixpkg git clone artools-pkg
==> Cloning artools-pkg ...
Cloning into 'artools-pkg'...
ssh: connect to host gitea.artixlinux.org port 22: Connection refused
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Could you enable not registered users to clone the repo with artixpkg? Or something else.
If it is not a problem.

For extra you use:
Code: [Select]
pkgctl repo clone --protocol https <package>

You will NEVER be given permission to clone that package!!!!  >:(
That isn't because it is restricted to anyone special, but because it is a sub-package, you can get PKGBUILD's that make more than one package,  ;D , see here:
https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/artools/src/branch/master/PKGBUILD
Code: [Select]
pkgbase=artools
pkgname=('artools-base' 'artools-pkg' 'artools-iso')

You need to clone artools instead - there are several packages like that, if you get that error it just means you are trying to clone something that doesn't exist.

Even supplied with a correct package name
Code: [Select]
artixpkg git clone bash
will fail as it's using ssh and a normal user lacks authorisation.

As mentioned above you can
Code: [Select]
git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/bash
Or you can create a bash function for brevity if desired.
in ~/.bashrc
Code: [Select]
getpkgbuild() (
  git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/$1
)
Code: [Select]
$ getpkgbuild bash
Cloning into 'bash'...

remote: Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done.

Resolving deltas: 100% (97/97), done.
That will work for most packages except the few with names that differ between the repo and gitea.
eg. pkgbase=libxml++  is libxmlplusplus on gitea

Edit: For those of us who use fish (I just decided to implement this for myself)
In ~/.config/fish/config.fish
Code: [Select]
function getpkg
	git clone https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packages/$argv[1]
end
