This example includes a URL line. Later, the reader is directed to https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Library-Headers.html#Library-Headers for more information about the available headers. This second page makes no mention of the URL line, and instead describes a Homepage line. Surveying the Emacs source code, it turns out that both URL and Homepage are used, although Homepage is more popular. Should one of URL and Homepage be preferred to the other? Are they aliases? Is one of these a typo? -- Peter Oliver From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Mon Mar 05 17:51:28 2018 Received: (at 30571) by debbugs.gnu.org; 5 Mar 2018 22:51:28 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:46407 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1esyx6-0001hj-4N for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:28 -0500 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([208.118.235.92]:50176) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1esyx4-0001hX-Vo for 30571@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:27 -0500 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1esywz-0007S2-9U for 30571@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:21 -0500 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on eggs.gnu.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::e]:35211) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1esywx-0007Qx-Ct; Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:19 -0500 Received: from rgm by fencepost.gnu.org with local (Exim 4.82) (envelope-from ) id 1esyww-0001hL-4W; Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:18 -0500 From: Glenn Morris To: Peter Oliver Subject: Re: bug#30571: URL vs Homepage in package headers References: X-Spook: Heroin Subway EuroFed Emergency management Brush fire X-Ran: _(f$BY_Z2gYS-n2$y(^J;oE-P$PLWp%x)cpGv7oZC3YD[m1@al>Upon+QpPpYRGa3P87>n X-Hue: yellow X-Debbugs-No-Ack: yes X-Attribution: GM Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2018 17:51:18 -0500 In-Reply-To: (Peter Oliver's message of "Thu, 22 Feb 2018 00:48:01 +0000 (GMT)") Message-ID: <4xo9k2f861.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> User-Agent: Gnus (www.gnus.org), GNU Emacs (www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: GNU/Linux 2.2.x-3.x [generic] X-Received-From: 2001:4830:134:3::e X-Spam-Score: -5.0 (-----) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 30571 Cc: 30571@debbugs.gnu.org X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -5.0 (-----) By inspection of the code (lm-homepage), these forms are entirely equivalent.
