spaces are used as separators in metadata variables. (In reply to comment #2) > spaces are used as separators in metadata variables. Marius, with due respect, and I do respect you a lot, this sounds like a excuse. It sounds like an internal design consideration rather than a specification problem. Well, one possible solution would be to add single quotes, like this: SRC_URI="'TrueCrypt ${PV} Source.tar.gz'" (In reply to comment #4) > Well, one possible solution would be to add single quotes, like this: > > SRC_URI="'TrueCrypt ${PV} Source.tar.gz'" And what will you do for filenames containing single quotes then? ;-) <http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch05s02.html> is worth reading... Does anyone want to do this anymore? It looks like the idea is hard to implement, and TrueCrypt is no more :). I think we should WONTFIX it. I believe that this is obsolete: Escape mechanisms for URIs exist, and in addition we have SRC_URI arrows that allow saving the distfile under a reasonable name. |
