Sure they may be valid use cases, but the issue is whether the |
| 20 |
;sf=tar.bz2 code is duplicated from '->'. I don't see any reason why you |
| 21 |
can't use '->' to handle ;sf=tbz2, so they are duplicated. Since '->' |
| 22 |
can be used in more circumstances(SRC_URI="http://foo.com/2.3/foo.bz2 |
| 23 |
-> ${P}.tar.bz2" comes to mind), we don't need ;sf=tbz2. |
