Well, I was holding off saying anything in public in fear of embarrassing scrappy but I'm afraid can't wait any longer. These changes were not approved. We have been putting homepages in pkg/DESCR for years. I don't see any need in adding yet another knob to an already solved problem (which unsolves part of it...for instance, how is the package user supposed to see it?). I told scrappy to back them out a few weeks ago, he said he will, but has been "too busy" and that's why they are still there. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
