It exists as a warning in some places still I think. |

perl-module.eclass has this: |
| 17 |
[ -z "${HOMEPAGE}" ] && \ |
| 18 |
HOMEPAGE="http://search.cpan.org/search?query=${MY_PN:-${PN}}&mode=dist" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
There was something else that used the form of: |
| 21 |
MY_PV=$(something-from-versionator ...) |
| 22 |
MY_PN=... |
| 23 |
HOMEPAGE="http://foobar/${MY_PN}/${MY_PV}" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I'm pretty sure I saw something about one of the EAPIs supporting |
| 26 |
USE-dependency stuff in HOMEPAGE as well. |
