Yes. This is quite a common case when one upstream stopped development |
| 7 |
of the package and new developer took it. traceroute, flow-tools are |
| 8 |
just examples from the top of my head. I remember I saw more such |
| 9 |
things... |

Also sometimes it's useful to have different HOMEPAGE for different |
| 12 |
versions. |

And in general, Diego. What are you trying to improve with this change? |
| 16 |
The original intention was to separate common information from all |
| 17 |
ebuilds into metadata.xml. But obviously, HOMEPAGE changes from ebuild |
| 18 |
to ebuild. Now if intention is separate some information from ebuild |
| 19 |
into metadata.xml then, please, tell me what is the criterion for such |
| 20 |
information? Why not LICENSE? Currently I don't think this change worth |
| 21 |
our efforts... |
