It does matter. Its authoritative. I include URLs in my package description that point to specs the package implements, so searching around for Upsteam homepage URL wouldn't necessarily work. I am not looking for a watch file mechanism. I am looking for a way to access upstream's homepage. Both as a developer and user. Many package descriptions have a Website: field already. It should just be in policy too, to promote this good helpful practice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
