Hi, So it turns out that I'm still having some issues, so I'm trying this method. I'm having quite some trouble with this though. Firstly, I can't get the sparse-checkout to work. [lucie@koumakan blog]$ git sparse-checkout init [lucie@koumakan blog]$ git sparse-checkout set arch-package/iwd-git [lucie@koumakan blog]$ git checkout arch-package/iwd-git error: pathspec 'arch-package/iwd-git' did not match any file(s) known to git I'm then downloading the whole repository. Going to ./arch-package/iwd-git, I don't see any src folder in there? Even if I create it myself and clone ell and iwd inside there, I get this issue with makepkg [lucie@koumakan iwd-git]$ makepkg ==> ERROR: install file (iwd.install) does not exist or is not a regular file. Is there something missing or am I doing something wrong?
