[yocto] trying to initialize a new devtool recipe using mercurial SCM

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg]

Hi list,
I'm a new user of Yocto and I'm trying use devtool to set up a recipe that has a source URI that points to a mercurial repository.
Here is the output of running devtool:

devtool add canfestival sources/canfestival -d hg://bitbucket.org/Mongo/canfestival-3-asc;protocol=https

NOTE: Fetching hg://bitbucket.org/Mongo/canfestival-3-asc...
ERROR: URL: 'hg://bitbucket.org/Mongo/canfestival-3-asc' is missing the required parameter 'module'

I found one reference that implied that adding ';module=' might help but it made no difference.

I can do a "hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Mongo/canfestival-3-asc'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
