[gentoo-dev] Allow variable refs in HOMEPAGE

[Mike Gilbert]

I would like to remove the ban on variable references in the HOMEPAGE
variable in ebuilds.

As I understand it, this ban was put in place so that people can
easily copy/paste from an ebuild to a web browser.

If people want to copy/paste the URL, they can easily query the final
value using the portage API, or a tool written against it.

Allowing variables in HOMEPAGE would allow for easier copying of
similar/identical ebuilds. For example, see the trivial ebuilds in my
overlay below.
