Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-07-21 06:00:55 UTC 
HOMEPAGE should not be set to gentoo.org if there's none existing.

I suggest using http://sourceforge.net/p/libusb/mailman/message/4814751/



Old bug #221825
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-07-21 06:49:04 UTC 
why not? that's exactly what eg. Debian is doing with their 'QA' page thing
i'd use http://packages.gentoo.org/

Invalid doesn't mean what you think it means.
Comment 3 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-07-21 12:02:43 UTC 
Just ask yourself if it is helpful for any user if the HOMEPAGE is set to gentoo.org? 

This might be okay for gentoo-hosted projects (even then you should link to a project homepage or git repository or whatever), but it might harm Gentoo's reputation being connected to dead projects.

You can also create and use:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Logitech-applet

If this is too much effort, we should probably create something like

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DEAD_HOMEPAGE  and explain users that there's no homepage available.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-07-21 12:08:29 UTC 
It's a default. A random message on a random mailing list is not going to fix this . gentoo.org has since forever been the default URI for cases where no homepage is available. You can go and document that.

compromise:

+  logitech-applet-0.4_pre1-r3.ebuild:
+  Use template no-homepage wiki page at gentoo.org for HOMEPAGE

Oh, we have a thing for that now? Neat. We'd still want a devmanual update, I guess.
