Comment:
I've been occasionally glancing at the AUR and a handful of other distros' packages and have yet to see anyone else attempt to package v1.0 from source.

I'm trying to work out (conceptually) how this would be packaged with its current availability (at v1.0).
One particular AUR [PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=radicle-cli-git) seems to `git clone`(?) the source files directly from from the official seed node.
I have the understanding that `xbps-src` requires a source archive to build, in contrast to a git endpoint.
- The `xbps-src` documentation does not list a git repository/url as a valid `distfiles` value.
- An `egrep` of the `srcpkgs` directory for `"distfiles.+\.git$"` didn't return any results.
- The only instances of `clone` in the `xbps-src` manual are in reference to cloning the void-packages repository itself.

Please correct me I am wrong in this understanding about `xbps-src`.

If `xbps-src` can't (or shouldn't) handle a git endpoint, I've been trying to find a source archive that would be usable.
Another PKGBUILD got an archive from a github mirror, but [that repository](https://github.com/radicle-dev/radicle-cli) has since been archived and is < v1.0.
I glanced (briefly) at the [radicle explorer](https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5) but didn't notice any available endpoints for downloading an archive aside from cloning.
The `heartwood` build scripts contain the use of `git archive`, but the archive itself is discarded after being passed to a Dockerfile for building the available binaries.

Perhaps I am overlooking something, but what would be the appropriate method to package this (in its current form)?
I'm assuming we need to wait(?) for an available archive?
Maybe a request to the devs to also publish a source archive with each release is in order?

I have a PR ready soon, calling git in do_fetch.

Sweet. A lot simpler than I was expecting.
Ah.. I see now.. `distfiles` is listed as optional.
I had the misconception it was required - I guess I didn't look close enough haha.
Thanks!
