[SOLVED]PKGBUILD - source=() and urls with get parameters

I tryed to compile pyflakes from AUR yesterday, and it had a `source=(http://divmod.org/trac/attachment/wiki/SoftwareReleases/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz?format=raw LICENSE)` the problem is that makepkg checks for "$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz?format=raw" and the file name is "$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz", any fix for that? - I just removed "?format=raw" and it worked, but the author must had a reason for that parameter

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I wrapped it with double quotes and it worked , I've also added a note on the wiki page.

The PKGBUILD man page has all sorts of tips like this.  Definitely worth a read!
