If something is a six-liner made by Gentoo and for Gentoo, noone cares |
| 26 |
enough to create a homepage for it. |

http://gentoo.org is the most useless 'homepage' value you can use. It |
| 29 |
doesn't mean anything, and especially you aren't going to find a piece |
| 30 |
of information on the software on that site. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In that case, even https://bugs.gentoo.org is more useful. |
