I think the bug is in `bb.fetch.decodeurl`, I just noticed it because of the archiver.
@Alex if that means it should still move over to the oe-core list, let me know and I can do that.

 

Steps to replicate:
1. Checkout poky master (just replicated with 8634e46b4040b6008410b6d77fecb5cbaec7e90e)
2. source oe-init-build-env
3. append the following to the auto-generated local.conf:
    + require conf/distro/include/init-manager-systemd.inc
    + INHERIT += "archiver"
    + ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"
4. Run "bitbake systemd-serialgetty", the source dir will be created but it wont contain anything:
    brennan.coslett@lpgt-bcosl001:~/missing-source/poky/build$ ls tmp/deploy/sources/x86_64-poky-linux/systemd-serialgetty-1.0-r0/
    brennan.coslett@lpgt-bcosl001:~/missing-source/poky/build$

 

I think something in the regex inside the `decodeurl` function in `bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/__init__.py` needs to change to stop it from
parsing out `<name>@`  in `<name>@.service` into the `user` field or maybe it needs additional logic inside that function when its a
local file to put the parsed out `user` group back into the `location` group? This appears to fix it but i'm not sure if this is actually valid,
if it is I can submit it as an actual patch. I think there should probably be a corresponding addition of a fetch test around these types of
files?

I was able to see the `serialgetty@.service` file in the output folder:
