It exists as a warning in some places still I think. perl-module.eclass has this: [ -z "${HOMEPAGE}" ] && \ HOMEPAGE=3D"http://search.cpan.org/search?query=3D${MY_PN:-${PN}}&mode=3Dd= ist" There was something else that used the form of: MY_PV=3D$(something-from-versionator ...) MY_PN=3D... HOMEPAGE=3D"http://foobar/${MY_PN}/${MY_PV}" I'm pretty sure I saw something about one of the EAPIs supporting USE-dependency stuff in HOMEPAGE as well. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --4JxvUTD846AMAZAS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
