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

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

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.

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

This is the source package that you would like to be downloaded from Launchpad.
This is the version of the source package to be downloaded.
This is the release that you would like the source package to be downloaded from. This value defaults to the current development release.
Display a help message and exit.
Do not extract the source package.
Use the specified Ubuntu mirror. Should be in the form http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. If the package isn't found on this mirror, pull-lp-source will fall back to Launchpad, as its name implies.
