@ -446,6 +446,13 @@ contains the hashes of the downloaded files for the +libfoo+
package. The only reason for not adding a +.hash+ file is when hash
checking is not possible due to how the package is downloaded.
When a package has a version selection choice, then the hash file may be
stored in a subdirectory named after the version, e.g.
+package/libfoo/1.2.3/libfoo.hash+. This is especially important if the
different versions have different licensing terms, but they are stored
in the same file. Otherwise, the hash file should stay in the package's
directory.
The hashes stored in that file are used to validate the integrity of the
downloaded files and of the license files.
