Yes. This is quite a common case when one upstream stopped development of the package and new developer took it. traceroute, flow-tools are just examples from the top of my head. I remember I saw more such things... Also sometimes it's useful to have different HOMEPAGE for different versions. And in general, Diego. What are you trying to improve with this change? The original intention was to separate common information from all ebuilds into metadata.xml. But obviously, HOMEPAGE changes from ebuild to ebuild. Now if intention is separate some information from ebuild into metadata.xml then, please, tell me what is the criterion for such information? Why not LICENSE? Currently I don't think this change worth our efforts... --=20 Peter.
