Description Aníbal Limón 2016-11-24 21:33:47 UTC 
Currently devtool tries to figure out what is the new URL some recipes don't follow any convention so will be good if we could specify SRC_URI in certain cases.
Comment 1 Aníbal Limón 2016-11-24 21:34:07 UTC 
For example:

$ devtool RECIPE --version --src_uri

I missed the upgrade subcommand then,

$ devtool upgrade RECIPE --version --src_uri

By coincidence I believe Tim wanted to implement this very thing :)
Comment 4 Tim Orling 2020-12-03 15:44:57 UTC 
STill interested in this, but adding this comment to bump it as far as bug-triage meeting goes...
Comment 5 Tim Orling 2022-08-23 16:20:42 UTC 
Still valid. Hopefully I still have the branch with the implementation.
Comment 6 Tim Orling 2023-02-02 16:04:48 UTC 
Still valid.
Comment 7 Tim Orling 2023-06-22 14:58:27 UTC 
Still valid.

This looks pretty straight forward to add --srcuri and --srcuri_protocol options. Likely this will requires some additional tests to ensure the srcuri is valid, like missing a branch for git or other parameter specific to the given fetcher module that is being invoked.
