standardizing HOMEPAGE values in python3 recipes

standardizing HOMEPAGE values in python3 recipes

[Robert P. J. Day]

  given the current flurry of python recipe cleanup, just want to
verify a couple things that could/should be standardized.

  first, HOMEPAGE values of the form:

  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/astroid

can be adjusted to reflect the result of the redirection, as in:

  https://pypi.org/project/astroid

also, as i read it, recipe HOMEPAGE values should *not* refer to the
pypi page, as that is already set automatically by pypi.bbclass.
rather, the HOMEPAGE should refer to the actual source home page,
which in the case of the astroid package would be:

  https://github.com/PyCQA/astroid

does this make sense?

When the source is on github this is supposed to be linked from PyPi.

My personal impression is that meta data like the HOMEPAGE field is 
usually poorly maintained, keeping an automatically set "good enough" 
value (the PyPi link) would IMHO be the best default option.

  i'm inclined to agree, but i will at least lay down some standards
for a few people as to how to craft recipes from now on.

Both Links above point to pypi.org while not
Ideal using pypi.python.org is still functional

<https://pypi.org/project/astroid>

Yeah if there is anything beyond pypi link to be used
Then it should be set but I think pypi is commonly used for majority of
recipes
