Description eroen 2014-01-10 20:48:21 UTC

net-misc/mobile-broadband-provider-info-20120614 (latest in tree) has 
    HOMEPAGE="http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/MobileBroadband/ServiceProviders"
This url returns a somewhat confusing page that claims not to exist.

Apparently HTTP status code technology hasn't reached gnome.org yet. :-|

I discovered this while looking for a vcs repo of the files the package provides. While I resolved my issue through different means (apparently it was caused by a fluke in dhcpcd), it would be nice if such a repo (if it exists) was easily available through the HOMEPAGE field of the ebuild. :)
