Generic
- Never use tabs. Use spaces instead.
- Use 72 columns 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).
