All genntoo related pages have a link "http://www.gentoo.org/". I would favor a link directly to the project, e.g. "http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/index.xml" for portage. If I want to see the difference between two versions the ChangeLog in the portage tree only mentions a bump. When I want to read more, I have to search for the project on gentoo.org. If the link is more specific, it is much easier to find that information (e.g. the ChangeLog link on the portage homepage) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I really don't understand how is portage changelog related to Gentoo projects page.
I believe what this bug is about is that for the portage ebuilds, the homepage is set to http://www.gentoo.org/, when it could be set to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/ instead. Similarly for other packages. This would make it easier to find what changed between versions, assuming the project page is kept up to date. Is this correct?

Portage and baselayout to name my favorites, but it may also apply to other ebuilds.

Packages in portage do not (for a vast majority) have Gentoo project status, why should they be placed under Gentoo projects? Besides, searching for any ebuild in http://packages.gentoo.org/ give me access to changelogs and lot of other info in some 2 seconds.
Or are you talking about this? portage-2.0.51.22-r2.ebuild <snip> DESCRIPTION="The Portage Package Management System. The primary package management and distribution system for Gentoo." HOMEPAGE="http://www.gentoo.org/" <---! </snip>
reopen?
