Proper way to rename a downloaded file in SRC_URI

Proper way to rename a downloaded file in SRC_URI

I have a recipe that I built for building jzmq, however one of the 
issues I have is with the naming of the release files from the github site.

Unlike czmq which has downloads ( zip and tar.gz ) that are named 
czmq-${PV}.tar.gz, the downloads from jzmq are just called v${PV}.tar.gz.


How can I rename this file upon download so that the filename is in fact 
unique to this package ?

I can definitely see that the file v3.1.0.tar.gz in my downloads 
directory is not unique and could conflict with another package that is 
similarly named for its releases.


My workaround right now is to use the specific SHA string and use the 
git:// protocol, but it would be a bit easier to just use the released 
version and change the filename for saving it in downloads.

Use the downloadfilename parameter e.g. (made up URL):

SRC_URI = "http://github.com/jzmq/download/v${PV}.tar.gz;downloadfilename=${PN}-${PV}.tar.gz"

Cheers,

at the SRC_URI value, you may use the downloadfilename standard option.
