How about HOMEPAGE, DESCRIPTION and LICENSE ? Those I'd rather like to see it in a new thread since it involves changes to the PMS.

But it ties the ebuild closer to the metadata and if you get an ebuild without HOMEPAGE, DESCRIPTION and LICENSE you don't have any information about the package. I'd say that those vars are the minimal needed information for a package and should therefore being kept in the ebuild itself. But a longer description or a description in a different language can always be kept in metadata.xml as it is possible already. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
