2022-08-31 19:32:56 M. Vefa Bicakci description Brief Description ----------------- When a developer adds a URL with '&' characters to dl_files section of meta_data.yaml, the Debian-based StarlingX build system fails with the following errors: debrepack - ERROR: 2022-06-29 20:04:31 (3.79 MB/s) - '...' saved [...] debrepack - ERROR: [ Failed - "wget -t 5 --wait=15 http://a_url_with_& -O ..." ] This occurs because the build system passes all arguments to the shell without any quoting, and the '&' character is interpreted as "background-this-command-please" by the shell. The solution is to avoid using Python's subprocess.Popen constructor's "shell" parameter. Severity -------- Minor: Only problematic when/if a URL with shell-specific special characters needs to be downloaded from during the build. I already have a patch for this, and I am opening this bug report as a placeholder to refer to. This is why this template is purposefully incomplete.
