+# Some, but not all of variables are required. The following list
+# describes the required variables:
+#
+# * URL:	The main website of the upstream project
+# * REPO:	The location of the package on the source pacakge
+#		server. This might be one of core, main, dev, or
+#		perhaps others.
+# * BRIEF:	Short description, should be 50 chars or less
+# * SNAPVER:	This is the package version. When a package is
+#		changed, but no changes are made to the source code
+#		this value should be increased. This would include
+#		things like usher being modified, changes to default
+#		configuration files, file permissions, etc.
+# * ARCHIVE:	The default commands that set this variable should
+#		work in most cases, but in some cases it may need
+#		to be modified. This variable should contain the
+#		path to the source of the package (./SRC/filename)
+# * TYPE:	This is probably not really needed due to the
+#		ability	of gnu tar to figure it out on its own.
+#		Should probably be removed at some point.
+# * SRCDIR:	This is the name of the source directory after the
+#		package source is extracted. The default command
+#		should in most cases set this automatically.
+# * PATCHDIR:	This directory should be ./SRC/patches and is
+#		required, whether or not patches are used.
+# * VERSION:	This should be set automatically based on the
+#		version string in the source directory and SNAPVER.
+#		The default command here should work in many cases,
+#		but certain packages may need to use a different
+#		method.
+#
+# Variables that aren't required:
+#
+# * ARCH:	This should be populated for packages which contain
+#		compiled binaries. If it is not populated the ARCH
+#		will be set to 'noarch'.
+# * DEPENDS:	If any other packages are required for this package
+#		to function then they need to be listed here,
+#		preferably in alphabetical order.
+# * BUILDDEPS:	Any package beyond packages from the core repo
+#		need to be listed here. The idea is that we
+#		can automate building and testing packages
+#		from clean core systems. The core repo is
+#		intended to include only the base minimum
+#		packages which provide a functional system.
+# * SRCPKG:	By default this is populated automatically with
+#		the name of the package (current directory). If
+#		the source package is used to generate multiple
+#		packages then this variable should contain the
+#		name of the git repo that tracks the source.
+# * DESC:	This is to be used to provide a longer description
+#		of the package.
