+# fetch-all-sources.sh — Download ALL Redox OS + Red Bear OS package sources.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh                    # Fetch for default desktop config
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh redbear-full       # Fetch for a specific config
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh --all-configs      # Fetch for every config
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh --recipe kernel    # Fetch a single recipe
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh --list             # List recipes that would be fetched
+#   ./scripts/fetch-all-sources.sh --status           # Show which sources already exist
+#
+# Prerequisites: rustup + nightly, git, wget, tar. The script builds the
+# cookbook `repo` binary if not already built.
+#
+# Sources are placed in recipes/<category>/<name>/source/ for git/tar recipes,
+# and are left in-place for local/recipes/ (path-based sources).
