I'm not sure about HOMEPAGE and DESCRIPTION, but I think LICENSE |
| 13 |
should be per-ebuild variable. A license change is not so strange |
| 14 |
(GPL-3, double licensing the source, or adding new artwork licensed |
| 15 |
with a more restrictive license). Moreover, a license change does not |
| 16 |
need to be retroactive, so using a global variable in metadata.xml |
| 17 |
could lead to accidentally show a wrong license for old versions. |
