+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #175076 +++ As of the currently visible ebuild in the database (0.4.5), this issue is not fixed. It still points to arminstraub.de (see below for original bug report). Additionally, the HOMEPAGE link now opens several ad popups and tries to initiate the download of file called "new.exe" in the background (the hazardous part), which might contain potentially dangerous software. (I couldn't check what this exe-file does though, but I think it's at least suspicious) Therefore I request to change the HOMEPAGE link to http://www.arminstraub.com/browse.php?page=programs_kiolocate (It's arminstraub.de now) ---cut---orinial bug--- Wrong HOMEPAGE in kio_locate ebuilds, as arminstraub.de is abandoned and Armin Straub uses arminstraub.com now as homepage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grep HOMEPAGE /usr/portage/kde-misc/kio-locate/*.ebuild 2. browse arminstraub.de , see it abandoned Expected Results: HOMEPAGE should be http://arminstraub.com/browse.php?page=programs_kiolocate in kio_locate's ebuilds. Armin Straub seems to have arminstraub.com now as a new homepage (he's living in USA now) I'll notify the previous maintainer of kio_locate (Michael Schürig, until v0.1), as he too points to arminstraub.de.
No idea, where you're looking it up, but the ebuild definitely has been fixed on April the 18th.
I'm looking it up here: http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=kio-locate and here: http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?kio-locate-0.4.5 Klick on the HOMEPAGE link on either page and it will lead to: http://arminstraub.de/browse.php?page=programs_kiolocate which, as I said, opens several poups and attempt to download some shady executable. Ok, update: I just tried it again 1 min ago. The exe download seems to be gone but it still leads into pop-up hell.
$ grep HOMEPAGE /usr/portage/kde-misc/kio-locate/*.ebuild HOMEPAGE="http://arminstraub.com/browse.php?page=programs_kiolocate" Has nothing to do w/ the ebuild. No idea why packages.g.o. doesn't get updated over and over again.

I tried emailing the mail adress that was listed in the bottom line of packages.gentoo.org. I got a reply from there to come here and file a bug, which I did. This is my second try to bring this to anybodys attention within 24 hours, and I'm giving up now. If anybody knows who is responsible or in charge, please notify them, I'm tired of being told "It has nothing to do with me, go tell someone else".
I've made a "small" change to the homepage_update routine that really shouldn't have made any difference. There have been a lot of timeouts lately connecting to the DB server so that may have been the problem. Nevertheless it seems to be fixed now.
