Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org What do people think about adding a HOMEPAGE variable to ports makefiles? This would allow for easier checking for updated versions, as well as related information about packages you use. Currently there's no standardized way to find this - often you can tell from the URL of the distfile, or a comment in DESCR, but this isn't always the case.
