Hi !
What would you think about introducing three new variables
into the ports mechanism ?! HOMEPAGE, AUTHOR and
MAILINGLIST ?!
Background:
Quite often I'd like to have a comfortable way to go to the
homepage of a software product to look for new informations
and releases of the software.
Additionally I'd like to have sometimes an easy way, to lookup
the e-mail Adresss of the author of a software package to
ask him questions or to send him patches.
Sometimes it would be an extra bonus to have the possibility
to send a question to the mailinglist for this port.
Other advantages:
Once we'd had these three variables, they could be used to
add some more user friendlyness to our WWW pages in the
ports area.
What do you think about this ? Like to hear from you ...
Andreas ///
