SYNOPSIS

pull-lp-source [options] source package [release|version]

DESCRIPTION

pull-lp-source downloads and extracts the specified version of <source package> from Launchpad, or the latest version of the specified release. To request a version from a particular pocket say release-pocket (with a magic -release for only the release pocket). If no version or release is specified, the latest version in the development release will be downloaded.
