No. Those commits ids are there because those are the urls the github
api gave me, which I used for filling that list initally. Replacing
those ids by 'master' or 'main' gives you the url to the latest version
of the package. But I haven't done it yet.

But now I'm thinking that we could use those ids too, and have some
pinned down package lists, with lists of packages that we know that work
for a certain version of Cuis, for example .., then we could instruct
the downloader to use a certain package list .

The rest of the things we can fix in time.

Cheers,

Mariano
