Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev

With a little script I found 469 ebuilds which seem to have a dead HOMEPAGE. The script searches all ebuilds of a given category using wget. I run it over the whole portage tree w/

$>(cd /usr/portage/; for d in *; do (CheckHomepage.sh $d &); done)

and watched it w/

$>watch 'ps -ef | grep CheckHomepage.sh | grep -v grep'


Reproducible: Always

I'm really sorry, but no way I'm going to CC maintainers of ~500 ebuilds on one bug. If you wish, take this to gentoo-dev mailing list, suggest a check to detect these automatically etc., but filing a bug about 469 is totally a no go.

Thanks.
