[Solved]How to fix wrong format url in Sources tree

I took over an AUR package called wg++ which uses character plus (+) in the main git folder.
Is it possible to either rename this package to i.e. "wgpp.git" or to fix so the correct http encoding is applied?

This would be the correct format "wg%2b%2b", instead of "wg++".

Not sure what you mean with that, but it looks like that package was never updated to use makepkg VCS sources support  .

I suggest you add the _siteini url to source= array and  let makepkg download all needed sources.
Incase the issue with the + / %2b still exists after that, please describe it in more detail.

Re: [Solved]How to fix wrong format url in Sources tree

Many thanks for pointing out the VCS sources support, I have tested it locally and it works. I will add it to the next package update.

The issue I am trying to explain is the same for all AUR packages found which cointain a plus (+) sign in the end of the i.e. "AUR : wg++.git".
If You try to check custom files (shell scripts etc), in this case the Source file "wgpp.sh" receives the error text "Invalid branch: wg".
Full url link looks like this: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … .sh?h=wg++

My question was if it is possible to fix this issue by adding the correct url encoding or renaming the wg++.git package to lets say wgpp.git?

Re: [Solved]How to fix wrong format url in Sources tree

So it's about the AUR web interface. Links to source files that are hosted in the AUR do not seem to be properly URL encoded, while similar links under "Package Actions" (view changes/view pkgbuild) are working (for me anyway). (@
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wg++)

The AUR home page has a section "Bug reporting" at the bottom.

Please prepend [Solved] to the thread title (edit first post, there is a character limit so you may have to shorten the title)
