It's not a bug. It's the fact that the semicolon character is treated the same as a newline, in that it separates commands. This is a Tcl language feature.

If you want a semicolon, either surround the entire value with double- quotes, or use a backslash to escape the semicolon.

livecheck.url  "${homepage}release/?C=M;O=D"
livecheck.url ${homepage}release/?C=M\;O=D

I want to set up livecheck for fontconfig and I want to use the following livecheck URL:

${homepage}release/?C=M;O=D

How can I do this? I've tried:

Sure, it's a bug with MacPorts.
But you can usually fix it by replacing the semicolon with an &.
Apache generally understand this character as a parameter separator.

Thanks for the tip; I didn't even think to try that. That works great.

Still, we should probably fix the bug...
