| 13 | Why not use our package site for this, i.e. |
| 14 | HOMEPAGE="http://packages.gentoo.org/package/${CAT}/${PN}" |
| 15 | |
| 16 | i.e. for this particular use case, |
| 17 | http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-mobilephone/smssend |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The site contains a link to ChangeLog, description, current version, |
| 20 | forums and bugs. I would suggest it is the most usable homepage a user |
| 21 | can expect if no other exists. |
