There are several reasons for this change:

First, according to the recipe style guide, HOMEPAGE is a required variable and 
should be contained in all recipes:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/recipe-style-guide.html#required-variables

Second, the recipe linter oelint-adv also wants HOMEPAGE to be set.

Third, the HOMEPAGE is included in the SBOM if it is set. It would be great, if 
every component would contain the HOMEPAGE to be consistent.

I checked what other recipes are doing when they just provide local files. The 
recipes mini-x-session or python3-dtschema-wrapper also set HOMEPAGE to 
"https://yoctoproject.org";, so I thought that would be the accepted way to have 
a HOMEPAGE for recipes that only provide local files.

Best regards
