 Each recipe consists of 3 main parts: defining identifiers, setting build
 variables, and defining build commands.
 
 The package "mylib" will be used here as an example
 
 General tips:
 - mylib_foo is written as $(package)_foo in order to make recipes more similar.
 
 ## Identifiers
 Each package is required to define at least these variables:
 
     $(package)_version:
     Version of the upstream library or program. If there is no version, a
     placeholder such as 1.0 can be used.
 
     $(package)_download_path:
-    Location of the upstream source, without the file-name. Usually http or
-    ftp.
+    Location of the upstream source, without the file-name. Usually http, https
+    or ftp. Secure transmission options like https should be preferred if
+    available.
 
     $(package)_file_name:
     The upstream source filename available at the download path.
 
     $(package)_sha256_hash:
     The sha256 hash of the upstream file
 
 These variables are optional:
 
     $(package)_build_subdir:
     cd to this dir before running configure/build/stage commands.
     
     $(package)_download_file:
     The file-name of the upstream source if it differs from how it should be
     stored locally. This can be used to avoid storing file-names with strange
     characters.
     
     $(package)_dependencies:
     Names of any other packages that this one depends on.
     
     $(package)_patches:
     Filenames of any patches needed to build the package
 
     $(package)_extra_sources:
     Any extra files that will be fetched via $(package)_fetch_cmds. These are
     specified so that they can be fetched and verified via 'make download'.
 
 
 ## Build Variables:
 After defining the main identifiers, build variables may be added or customized
 before running the build commands. They should be added to a function called
 $(package)_set_vars. For example:
 
     define $(package)_set_vars
     ...
     endef
 
 Most variables can be prefixed with the host, architecture, or both, to make
 the modifications specific to that case. For example:
 
     Universal:     $(package)_cc=gcc
     Linux only:    $(package)_linux_cc=gcc
     x86_64 only:       $(package)_x86_64_cc = gcc
     x86_64 linux only: $(package)_x86_64_linux_cc = gcc
 
 These variables may be set to override or append their default values.
 
     $(package)_cc
     $(package)_cxx
     $(package)_objc
     $(package)_objcxx
     $(package)_ar
     $(package)_ranlib
     $(package)_libtool
     $(package)_nm
     $(package)_cflags
     $(package)_cxxflags
     $(package)_ldflags
     $(package)_cppflags
     $(package)_config_env
     $(package)_build_env
     $(package)_stage_env
     $(package)_build_opts
     $(package)_config_opts
 
 The *_env variables are used to add environment variables to the respective
 commands.
 
 Many variables respect a debug/release suffix as well, in order to use them for
 only the appropriate build config. For example:
 
     $(package)_cflags_release = -O3
     $(package)_cflags_i686_debug = -g
     $(package)_config_opts_release = --disable-debug
 
 These will be used in addition to the options that do not specify
 debug/release. All builds are considered to be release unless DEBUG=1 is set by
 the user. Other variables may be defined as needed.
 
 ## Build commands:
 
   For each build, a unique build dir and staging dir are created. For example,
   `work/build/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e` and `work/staging/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e`.
 
   The following build commands are available for each recipe:
 
     $(package)_fetch_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir
     Fetch the source file. If undefined, it will be fetched and verified
     against its hash.
 
     $(package)_extract_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir
     Verify the source file against its hash and extract it. If undefined, the
     source is assumed to be a tarball.
 
     $(package)_preprocess_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
     Preprocess the source as necessary. If undefined, does nothing.
 
     $(package)_config_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
     Configure the source. If undefined, does nothing.
 
     $(package)_build_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
     Build the source. If undefined, does nothing.
 
     $(package)_stage_cmds:
     Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
     Stage the build results. If undefined, does nothing.
 
   The following variables are available for each recipe:
     
     $(1)_staging_dir: package's destination sysroot path
     $(1)_staging_prefix_dir: prefix path inside of the package's staging dir
     $(1)_extract_dir: path to the package's extracted sources
     $(1)_build_dir: path where configure/build/stage commands will be run
     $(1)_patch_dir: path where the package's patches (if any) are found
 
 Notes on build commands:
 
 For packages built with autotools, $($(package)_autoconf) can be used in the
 configure step to (usually) correctly configure automatically. Any
 $($(package)_config_opts) will be appended.
 
 Most autotools projects can be properly staged using:
 
     $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$($(package)_staging_dir) install
