2015-08-01bitbake: bitbake-user-manual-fetching.xml: note about URLs with semi-colonsJuro Bystricky
Some URLs contain semi-colons. Unfortunatelly, bitbake uses semi-colons in SRC_URI as delimiters for various parameters. It may still be possible to use such URLs, providing the user replaces semi-colons ';' with '&' characters. For example: http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git;a=snapshot;h=a5dd47 and http://abc123.com/git/?p=gcc/gcc.git&a=snapshot&h=a5dd47 should be equivalent, as W3C recommends treating ';' in queries identically to '&'.
