There is[1] (since 2007), but it never went anywhere. > Are the properties common for package, aren’t they? Usually anyway. For what it's worth, among what I maintain, there is one package (nvidia-drivers) where the 0/vulkan slot (525.47.x) has a different HOMEPAGE pointing to the vulkan page. Not that "most" tools really consider differences for these when displaying so it's mostly useful for someone opening the ebuild and wanting something to click. Having these readily viewable in the ebuild rather than buried in the metadata is often an argument to keep these, i.e. without description can't even see what the package is about if only looking at the ebuild. Not that I need that myself given I use repo-cd[2] that displays metadata when I work on ebuilds. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/186454 [2] https://github.com/ionenwks/iwdevtools#repo-cd -- ionen
