Further to what Alex said: This patch needs splitting up to make it reviewable. Perhaps one patch changing links in comments, one patch changing links in HOMEPAGE/BUGTRACKER variables, and one patch changing SRC_URI entries. Links such as http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php should be replaced with a pointer to the LICENSE.MIT file at the root of the repository. Best regards, -- Paul Barker
