[znz (Kazuhiro NISHIYAMA)]

Some gemspec files set ruby-lang site instead of github site to homepage.
Is it intentional?

% git ls-files '*.gemspec' | xargs grep homepage | grep ruby-lang
ext/io/console/io-console.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org"
ext/openssl/openssl.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org/".freeze
ext/sdbm/sdbm.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org"
ext/stringio/stringio.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org".freeze
ext/strscan/strscan.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org"
lib/webrick/webrick.gemspec:  s.homepage = "https://www.ruby-lang.org"

I believe Hiroshi Shibata can answer this, he is busy integrating
gems and doing a lot of work on the .gemspec files + bundler
integration by now, I think. :)

I assume that the ruby github page is a secondary mirror site; the
primary one is ruby-lang.org and the ruby svn repository. But I
may be wrong so feel free to ignore what I wrote there.

I don't understand, what's wrong with homepage being ruby-lang.org?

[Eregon (Benoit Daloze)]

It seems better to link to the place where the development of these libraries happen.
