Quotes are only used when specifying multiple checksums.
xbps-src uses xbps-digest internally. While sha256sum should arrive at the same result using sha256sum in the manual suggests to the reader that sha256sum is used internally.

This is a proposal, because I'm not sure if all changes are desired. I committed in small chunks so parts can be dropped easily. I can squash everything if that is preferred.
I tried to find how to generate a checksum and couldn't find it. It says "sha256", but I find a command builds more confidence for newbies. I first selected the wrong command when skimming the docs and used
tar xf <tarball.ext> --to-stdout | sha256sum.Also I changed
sha256sumtoxbps-digest, which is whatxbps-srcuses internally.Thanks
