The recommended form is without the trailing slash, and will become
mandatory in a coming commit.
This avoids the need for the $$($(2)_SITE:/=) magic in package/pkg-generic.mk
to avoid double slashes in download URLs, like
"https://mosh.mit.edu//mosh-1.2.5.tar.gz".
^^
Note: this work has already been done in b0b9606530 a few
months ago and earlier in c7f4b96471 and 4a9eb20de8,
but no check has been added at that time to avoid new slashes to slip
in, and so they did. This time a patch will follow immediately to
prevent future mistakes from being unnoticed.
Mass-replaced with the following command:
git grep -l '_SITE.*/$' | xargs sed -i '/_SITE.*=/s|/$||'

When using the python-package infrastructure, there is no need for
packages to declare a dependency on the Python interpreter: the
package infrastructure does it automatically.
Moreover, this is actually broken in the case of python-can, which can
be selected either with Python 2.x or Python 3.x. If the latter is
chosen, python-can will still trigger the build of Python 2.x, which
is incorrect.
This was discovered by Vicente Olivert Riera during the analysis of
the following build failure:
