A simple example is mount systemd services. A file like this which would mount /test-test would need to be named "test\x2dtest". For more examples check systemd-escape. Additional info: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.mount.html Adding a file like this in SRC_URI makes the fetcher fail. 53117 1 ross.burton 2015-08-14 10:40:44 +0000 What escaping did you try, backslash or URI escaping? eg "test%5Cx2dtest" 53118 2 andrei 2015-08-14 11:09:49 +0000 Backslash.

I tried escaping it with URI escape sequence too: "%5C". Fails at unpack.
