Url for Homepage is broken #{github_username}/#{project_name}

[Dušan Orlović]

Hello,

just to inform that url for Homepage is broken.

For example on https://rubygems.org/gems/nileshtrivedi-gupshup

It point to http://github.com/#{github_username}/#{project_name}

That's actually the url that that specific gem has in it's gemspec. That gem owner would need to fix the url in the gemspec and push a new version.

Interestingly enough, it seems like the homepage in the gem's gemspec has been initially wrong, but fixed in the following commit from 2009: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/gupshup/commit/108eabe386a43f282aac4df7b4f33bd2b03b8a95.

Without having no idea about the implementation: perhaps the website retrieves the homepage when a gem is published for the first time, not updating it later? :S

Hello Dusan,

Think the gem was pushed with 2 different names.

- nileshtrivedi-gupshup (github gem names were used many years ago)

- gupshup

If you notice, https://rubygems.org/gems/gupshup has the correct source url.

You may want to create a github issue asking the author to delete the longer named gem to remove confusion.
