Description

Request

Add a CLI flag to obal scratch as an alternative to -e build_package_archive_build_info=True.

Current:

obal scratch mypackage -e build_package_archive_build_info=True

Proposed:

obal scratch mypackage --archive-build-info

Why

  • More discoverable (--help would show it)
  • Follows standard CLI conventions (like --commit, --check, --dist)
  • Commonly used in CI for extracting COPR repo URLs for repoclosure testing

Research direction

Start with the CLI entry point for obal scratch and inspect how the existing --commit, --check, and --dist options are defined and passed through. Add the discoverable --archive-build-info option as an alternative to the documented -e setting, then verify that obal scratch --help shows it and that the option enables the requested archive build information.
