The output of 'qpkg -i <package>' doesn't seem to interpolate variables in HOMEPAGE. The problem exists in many perl module ebuilds. For example, here is the output of 'qpkg -I -i DBI' on my system: dev-perl/DBI-1.32 * The Perl DBI Module [http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBI/${P}.readme] (Note the ${P}.readme at the end.) I suppose it's either a bug or a matter of convention issue, depending on your point of view. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a variable in HOMEPAGE in an ebuild (i.e. HOMEPAGE="http://${P}.sf.net") 2. Merge package. 3. Try 'qpkg -I -i my-package'
thanks for taking this back on, Karl... sorry I've had to slough off so much of what I used to take care of here.
Sure, np. This one we get for free once we rewrite qpkg:)

still appears to be a problem: dev-util/rats-2.1.ebuild:HOMEPAGE="http://www.securesoftware.com/download_${PN}.htm" qpkg -i rats: dev-util/rats-2.1 RATS - Rough Auditing Tool for Security [ http://www.securesoftware.com/download_.htm ]
qpkg is deprecated, use emerge -s or esearch.
