Source url problem

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to update a package but I have some problem to download it:
the source url is:
http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/nodoka;a=blob_plain;f=branches/0.6/gtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz;hb=HEAD
with a browser the file is downloaded correctly, but with wget the name of the file is something like
index.html?p=hosted%2Fnodoka;a=blob_plain;f=branches%2F0.6%2Fgtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz;hb=HEAD
Someone know some hacks for this problem?
Thanks
Luca

Oops, my bad. What I said only applies to makepkg 3.1 .
It works fine with makepkg 3.0 indeed, except the md5sum part. Also it fails to copy the files from $startdir/src to $SRCDEST (which defaults to $startdir), but it isn't critical.
makepkg 3.1 however first download the files to $SRCDEST (which still defaults to $startdir), and then try to link them to $startdir/src, where it fails. And it stops there.
I am not sure if I should report a bug for this, since it's apparently not possible to support these broken url...
Otherwise, after thinking a bit on this problem, rather than using this dirty hack previously mentioned : FTPAGENT="$FTPAGENT -O gtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz;hb=HEAD"
or using git manually and trying to checkout the stable release with it,
why not just combining these 2 ways?
That is, downloading the files manually with wget (so not using the sources array, just like git/svn/cvs PKGBUILDs), and extracting them manually.
This works nicely with both makepkg versions.
pkgname=gtk-engine-nodoka
pkgver=0.6
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Default gtk engine provided by Fedora8"
url="https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/nodoka/wiki"
license=('GPL')
depends=('gtk2')
makedepends=('pkgconfig')
arch=(i686)
options=(!libtool)
build() {
cd $startdir/src
wget -O gtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz "http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/nodoka;a=blob_plain;f=branches/0.6/gtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz;hb=HEAD"
wget -O nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.2.tar.gz "http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/nodoka;a=blob_plain;f=branches/0.3/nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.2.tar.gz;hb=HEAD"
tar -xzvf gtk-nodoka-engine-0.6.tar.gz
tar -xzvf nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.2.tar.gz
cd $startdir/src/gtk-nodoka-engine-$pkgver
sed -i 's|/usr/bin/install|/bin/install|g' $startdir/src/gtk-nodoka-engine-$pkgver/src/Makefile.in
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/themes
cd $startdir/src/nodoka-theme-gnome
cp -r Nodoka $startdir/pkg/usr/share/themes
Of course, that's still rather awkward, we have to do manually what makepkg is supposed to do, but well, I am afraid there isn't any real solutions.
I still think the best one is to contact these guys, and ask them if they can do something about it
