on github.
------------------------
FOO_VERSION = v1.0 # tag or (abbreviated) commit ID
FOO_VERSION = v1.0 # tag or full commit ID
FOO_SITE = http://github.com/<user>/<package>/tarball/$(FOO_VERSION)
------------------------
.Notes
- The FOO_VERSION can either be a tag or a commit ID.
- The tarball name generated by github matches the default one from
Buildroot (e.g.: +foo-1234567.tar.gz+),
Buildroot (e.g.: +foo-f6fb6654af62045239caed5950bc6c7971965e60.tar.gz+),
so it is not necessary to specify it in the +.mk+ file.
- When using a commit ID as version, usually the first 7 characters of
the SHA1 are enough.
- When using a commit ID as version, you should use the full 40 hex characters.
