meta.yaml field not documented : `source: fn:` about conda-docs HOT 7 CLOSED

It is a valid key. It used to be required with URL source types. It is not required anymore. If provided, it determines the filename of the saved file on disk. When not provided, it is the final bit of the URL.

For example,

Http://www.something.com/myfile.zip

Has an implicit fn of myfile.zip, and users may change this by manually specifying fn.

Heavily documented now in https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/build-packages/define-metadata.html

@kalefranz I see a lot about "source:" but nothing about "fn:". Is this done?

from conda-docs.

It does look like source: / fn: is a valid key, according to conda_build/metadata.py. Would want @msarahan to confirm that indeed is true.

from conda-docs.

Oh right. Thanks for the clarification. I had forgotten that it used to be required.

Fixed in #501 . Thank you very much, @kalefranz and @msarahan .
