The method retrieves development sources from remote places, like fetch_remote_src(3) does with static source tarballs. It may copy to local place everything related to the source of the build: additional files, resources, data for quality checking.

The method does not have default implementation and can be effectively used with modules.

The final result is directory inside ANYDEVSRCDIR with final subdirectory named P. It should contain everything, related to development sources. That path will be used by further stages of work with source files.

The method must write to ANYDEVSRCDIR or S.

The method is expected to use any-api(7) variables:

MY_PD

P

S

ANYDEVSRCDIR

The options are expected to affect the method:

any_remote_src_hashing

any_local_src_hashing

any(1), any-map(7), any-api(7), fetch_remote_src(3), fetch_gen_patches(3)
