Description Luca Santarelli 2004-08-11 03:31:33 UTC
Hi,

a couple of days ago I saw that Tomcat (net-www/tomcat) and webfs (net-www/webfs) had been moved to a new category, www-servers. I know it is part of what was told in July, 26th GWN, however, packages.gentoo.org now doesn't show the homepage (it defaults to gentoo.org), the license (defaults to a ?) and the description (it's empty). The icon of the "genre" is also missing, being a grey cross.

Fearing it was a broken portage tree, I asked arond in the forums and I found out that the portage tree is working and the issue should be related to packages.gentoo.org only.

Reproducible: Always

The issue seemed to have resolved itself by rebuilding the database.
Comment 4 Luca Santarelli 2004-10-02 11:03:07 UTC
Man, maybe there's a need to rebuild the database yet again.

The first eight packages shown in
http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=dns
lack the homepage (it defaults to gentoo.org), the description, the license, ...

I'm not seeing this.  Perhaps you need to clear your browser's cache?
Comment 6 Luca Santarelli 2004-10-02 12:39:13 UTC
I am not seeing it right now, but when I noticed it, I asked a friend of mine to give it a try (he's not using Gentoo, nor visiting packages at all, so it's not in his cache) and he got the page with the same missing items I reported.

This means it wasn't my browser cache. I wonder what's the real reason...
