However, it is possible to download tarballs directly from the repository

on github.

-If the package has no release version, or its version cannot be

+.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+),
|
|
|
+ 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.
