@ -36,3 +36,24 @@ then probably you are running a Fedora (or similar) distribution, and

How to add package from github
------------------------------
If the package has no release version, or its version cannot be
identified using tag, then the sha1 of the particular commit should be
used to identify the version (the first 7 characters of the sha1 are
enough):
------------------------
FOO_VERSION = 1234567
FOO_SITE = http://github.com/<user>/<package>/tarball/<branch>
------------------------
If the package version matches a tag, then this tag should be used to
identify the version:
------------------------
FOO_VERSION = v1.0
FOO_SITE = http://github.com/<user>/<package>/tarball/$(FOO_VERSION)
------------------------
