== Generic ==
These guidelines apply to all of a module's files.
* Never use tabs. '''Use spaces''' instead.
* Use '''72 columns''' as a maximum width whenever possible (but always in the long description in the [[DETAILS]] file!).
* '''Respect the MAINTAINER''' value. Don't modify maintained modules unless you first consult the listed maintainer.

== DETAILS ==

* Always use a SHA1 checksum instead of a MD5 checksum for SOURCE_VFY values.
**The SHA1 algorithm has been [http://news.com.com/Crypto researchers abuzz over flaws/2100-1002_3-5313655.html shown] to be less prone to key clashes than the MD5 algorithm.
* Don't insert your eMail address into the MAINTAINER field unless you are a Lunar developer.
* Prefer '''tar.bz2''' over '''tar.gz''' tarballs (as it saves space/traffic) and prefer '''tar.gz''' over '''zip''' (or '''rar''') packages.
* Avoid using the module's name in the SHORT field.
** e.g. instead of <code>SHORT="MyModle is an application designed to take over the world."</code> you should use <code>SHORT="an application designed to take over the world"</code>
** You are encouraged however to start the long description off with the modules name. So in the example above the long description might be "MyModule is a GTK -2 application designed to take over the world. It features mind-control and cute, fuzzy kittens." (wrapped to 72 characters characters of course.) This way the output of [[lvu what]] is presented nicely to the user.
* Always align the equal signs (=) vertially within the file. "=" should be at character position 17, as this allows for the (optional) variable <code>SOURCE_DIRECTORY=</code> to be added later if needed and have it still be lined up with the rest of the content already in the file.
* Make sure to check whether a module is '''PSAFE''' or not. A lot of programs fail to build with parallel makes.

== DEPENDS ==
* Only list unique dependencies.
** That means that if the module you are building requires both "libX" and "libY" to properly compile/run but "libX" itself already requires (non-optionally) "libY," you should only add "libX" as a dependency to your module. This is because "libY" will automatically come along with "libX."
* Never put logic into this file. The only things that can exist in this file are function calls to [[depends]] and/or [[optional_depends]].
** Putting logic into DEPENDS, while it might seem clever, is a sure way to mess up Lunar's internal dependency handling mechanisms and commands such as [[lvu#leert|lvu leert]].
* If possible, always provide the means to disable support for an optional dependency, even if that optional module is installed.
** That means if the application's ./configure script allows for a --disable-my-optional-depends you should include that switch when building your optional_depends line.

== Generic ==
These guidelines apply to all of a module's files.
* Never use tabs. '''Use spaces''' instead.
* Use '''72 columns''' as a maximum width whenever possible (but always in the long description in the [[DETAILS]] file!).
* '''Respect the MAINTAINER''' value. Don't modify maintained modules unless you first consult the listed maintainer.

== DETAILS ==

* Always use a SHA1 checksum instead of a MD5 checksum for SOURCE_VFY values.
**The SHA1 algorithm has been [http://news.com.com/Crypto researchers abuzz over flaws/2100-1002_3-5313655.html shown] to be less prone to key clashes than the MD5 algorithm.
* Don't insert your eMail address into the MAINTAINER field unless you are a Lunar developer.
* Prefer '''tar.bz2''' over '''tar.gz''' tarballs (as it saves space/traffic) and prefer '''tar.gz''' over '''zip''' (or '''rar''') packages.
* Avoid using the module's name in the SHORT field.
** e.g. instead of <code>SHORT="MyModle is an application designed to take over the world."</code> you should use <code>SHORT="an application designed to take over the world"</code>
** You are encouraged however to start the long description off with the modules name. So in the example above the long description might be "MyModule is a GTK -2 application designed to take over the world. It features mind-control and cute, fuzzy kittens." (wrapped to 72 characters characters of course.) This way the output of [[lvu what]] is presented nicely to the user.
* Always align the equal signs (=) vertially within the file. "=" should be at character position 17, as this allows for the (optional) variable <code>SOURCE_DIRECTORY=</code> to be added later if needed and have it still be lined up with the rest of the content already in the file.
* Make sure to check whether a module is '''PSAFE''' or not. A lot of programs fail to build with parallel makes.

== DEPENDS ==
* Only list unique dependencies.
** That means that if the module you are building requires both "libX" and "libY" to properly compile/run but "libX" itself already requires (non-optionally) "libY," you should only add "libX" as a dependency to your module. This is because "libY" will automatically come along with "libX."
* Never put logic into this file. The only things that can exist in this file are function calls to [[depends]] and/or [[optional_depends]].
** Putting logic into DEPENDS, while it might seem clever, is a sure way to mess up Lunar's internal dependency handling mechanisms and commands such as [[lvu#leert|lvu leert]].
* If possible, always provide the means to disable support for an optional dependency, even if that optional module is installed.
** That means if the application's ./configure script allows for a --disable-my-optional-depends you should include that switch when building your optional_depends line. This allows you to not compile in support for certain features, even if your computer has the necessary application/library installed to support that feature. Remember, choice is good.
* Always follow each depends and optional_depends call with a

These guidelines apply to all of a module's files.
* Never use tabs. '''Use spaces''' instead.
* Use '''72 columns''' as a maximum width whenever possible (but always in the long description in the [[DETAILS]] file!).
* '''Respect the MAINTAINER''' value. Don't modify maintained modules unless you first consult the listed maintainer.

== DETAILS ==

* Always use a SHA1 checksum instead of a MD5 checksum for SOURCE_VFY values.
**The SHA1 algorithm has been [http://news.com.com/Crypto researchers abuzz over flaws/2100-1002_3-5313655.html shown] to be less prone to key clashes than the MD5 algorithm.
* Don't insert your eMail address into the MAINTAINER field unless you are a Lunar developer.
* Prefer '''tar.bz2''' over '''tar.gz''' tarballs (as it saves space/traffic) and prefer '''tar.gz''' over '''zip''' (or '''rar''') packages.
* Avoid using the module's name in the SHORT field.
** e.g. instead of <code>SHORT="MyModle is an application designed to take over the world."</code> you should use <code>SHORT="an application designed to take over the world"</code>
** You are encouraged however to start the long description off with the modules name. So in the example above the long description might be "MyModule is a GTK -2 application designed to take over the world. It features mind-control and cute, fuzzy kittens." (wrapped to 72 characters characters of course.) This way the output of [[lvu what]] is presented nicely to the user.
* Always align the equal signs (=) vertially within the file. "=" should be at character position 17, as this allows for the (optional) variable <code>SOURCE_DIRECTORY=</code> to be added later if needed and have it still be lined up with the rest of the content already in the file.
* Make sure to check whether a module is '''PSAFE''' or not. A lot of programs fail to build with parallel makes.

== DEPENDS ==
* Only list unique dependencies.
** That means that if the module you are building requires both "libX" and "libY" to properly compile/run but "libX" itself already requires (non-optionally) "libY," you should only add "libX" as a dependency to your module. This is because "libY" will automatically come along with "libX."
* Never put logic into this file. The only things that can exist in this file are function calls to [[depends]] and/or [[optional_depends]].
** Putting logic into DEPENDS, while it might seem clever, is a sure way to mess up Lunar's internal dependency handling mechanisms and commands such as [[lvu#leert|lvu leert]].
* If possible, always provide the means to disable support for an optional dependency, even if that optional module is installed.
** That means if the application's ./configure script allows for a --disable-my-optional-depends you should include that switch when building your optional_depends line. This allows you to not compile in support for certain features, even if your computer has the necessary application/library installed to support that feature. Remember, choice is good.
* Always follow each depends and optional_depends call with a
