NAME

       pull-lp-source - download a source package from Launchpad

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 ver-
       sion or release is specified, the latest version in the development release will be downloaded.

OPTIONS

       Listed below are the command line options for pull-lp-source:

       version
	      This is the version of the source package to be downloaded.
