- Use 72 columns (or was it 79?) maximum width whenever possible (but always in DETAILS!).

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.
