Description Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-21 07:47:11 UTC
http://www.disinformation.ca/gentoo given as HOMEPAGE in the ebuild just gives an error 404
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-08-25 21:09:04 UTC
i assume it's http://web.inter.nl.net/users/eavdmeer/ because of google; no idea really
Comment 2 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-26 00:43:34 UTC
That's not the same thing I guess...

app-portage/ebuilder: Description: Package Builder for Gentoo Linux

whereas

http://web.inter.nl.net/users/eavdmeer/ :
Ebuilder is a fast, efficient and easy to use tool for graphically designing widgets for the Qt GUI library.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-08-26 16:32:04 UTC
find me a real homepage then :p
Comment 4 Octavio Ruiz (Ta^3) 2004-09-24 17:31:37 UTC
http://www.disinformation.ca/gentoo  was the homepage, (has you can see in
http://web.archive.org/web/20030423122036/www.disinformation.ca/gentoo/) The
actual page in the ebuild (http://web.inter.nl.net/users/eavdmeer/) definitively
is not the homepage.

I prefer have a broken link (http://www.disinformation.ca/gentoo) against a
link that it does not correspond.

Maybe some time the developer of 'ebuilder' makes available again.

>find me a real homepage then :p 
I did not find anything.. :(

The AUTHORS file only says:
  Ebuilder: Written by Zach Forrest <zach@disinformation.ca> and is
             loosely based on mkebuild written by John Stalker.

Can a SRC_URI have an email? (i dont think so) 

The last time that the CHANGELOG file was modified is:
*ebuilder-0.4 (15 Mar 2002)

So, i think its abandonware... should it persist in the tree?

Just my $.2c                                                                                                                                  
Comment 5 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-27 02:27:24 UTC
I have to agree with Octavio, it is not OK to have a "HOMEPAGE" entry which obviously does not correspond to the package, therefor I am reopening this bug.
So maybe it should be considered to contact the author, use an empty/invalid "HOMEPAGE", remove the ebuild or something like that.
Comment 6 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-09-27 20:33:51 UTC
fine, put back to the 404-ed page

re-open if you ever find a newer page; we'll probably just remove the package if bugs come up with it
