💖 convert-volatile-source(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the convert-volatile-source(1) page from the General Commands Manual — it's giving "turn volatile sources into local patches" energy, and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 💅

💖 NAME 💖

convert-volatile-source — Convert volatile sources into local patches ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

convert-volatile-source [-h] [-p path] <apkbuild...>

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — shows the help mesage and quits. yes, that's the spelling on the page, bestie, we are not fixing it 😭
  • -p <path> — path to the binary used to find violations, defaults to apkbuild-lint

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

convert-volatile-source fetched remotes patches detected by apkbuild-lint(1) as described in the policy AL62 from alint(5). like, that's the whole assignment 🫶

it also replaces the URL in the source= variable with the filename. the filename is decided by looking at the URL and checking if it has :: — if true, then it uses whatever comes before the :: (just like abuild), otherwise it uses the basename of the URL. no cap, that's the rule 🌸

note that it does not updates the checksum. literally does not updates it. checksum stays exactly where it is, so do not come for me 😭💀

that's the whole page, bestie — stamped 2026-10-14, from the General Commands Manual, for convert-volatile-source(1) 🫶💖✨
