Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] Revert "manual: Add notes about GitHub and hashes"
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2015 17:26:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1445181974-19619-1-git-send-email-s.martin49@gmail.com> (raw)

This note is no longer needed, so remove it.

Tarballs generated by GitHub are always the same, so hashes can be
checked.

This reverts commit 9474cc2594c8643301164500ce6eb62546da2b8f.

-If +libfoo+ is from GitHub (see xref:github-download-url[] for details), we
-can only accept a +.hash+ file if the package is a released (e.g. uploaded
-by the maintainer) tarball. Otherwise, the automatically generated tarball
-may change over time, and thus its hashes may be different each time it is
-downloaded, causing a +.hash+ mismatch for that tarball.

 The number of spaces does not matter, so one can use spaces (or tabs) to
 properly align the different fields.
