Contents


Generic

  • Never use tabs. Use spaces instead.
  • Use 72 columns (or was it 79?) maximum width whenever possible (but always in DETAILS!).
  • Respect the MAINTAINER value. Don't bump maintained modules unless you got the permission from the maintainer.

DETAILS

  • Use sha1: instead of md5: for SOURCE_VFY values.
  • 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.

DEPENDS

  • If dependency B implies dependency A, only add depends B (or optional_depends B ..., depending on the dependency type).

CONFLICTS

Remember to add a CONFLICTS to both modules that conflict with each other.
