@ -532,9 +532,11 @@ It is a good idea to strip commit identifiers in the @code{version}
|

field to, say, 7 digits. It avoids an aesthetic annoyance (assuming
|

aesthetics have a role to play here) as well as problems related to OS
|
||||
limits such as the maximum shebang length (127 bytes for the Linux

kernel). It is best to use the full commit identifiers in
|

@code{origin}s, though, to avoid ambiguities. A typical package

definition may look like this:
