Overview

convert-volatile-source fetched remotes patches detected by apkbuild-lint(1) as described in the policy AL62 from alint(5).

It also replaces the URL in the source= variable with the filename, the filename is decided by looking at the URL and checking if it has '::', if true then it uses whatever comes before the '::' (just like abuild), otherwise it uses the basename of the URL.

Note that it does not updates the checksum.
