What is important is that the users not have to _use_ that reference for anything users do -- such as reporting bugs. However, listing a repo as a "homepage" for the package -- regardless of where that is hosted -- risks misleads users. The risk is that they might think they should download from there. The source code in that repo will, in many cases, be different from what we distribute. Users should not download it from there. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
