[edit] Examples

  MakeRecipe Help2Man 1.33.1 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man_1.33.1.tar.gz

  MakeRecipe DirectFB cvs :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.directfb.org:/cvs/directfb DirectFB

  MakeRecipe SYSLINUX git http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git

In case you want to use a local recipe, you can trick MakeRecipe :)

  MakeRecipe -F htop 0.7 http://example.com/htop-0.7.tar.bz2

The last name in the URL should be the name of your local tarball (it should be in /Files/Compile/Archives)
