Lots of them use caps rightfully, e.g. those in p5-*, libX* domains, and some others. And it's never late to improve things by moving incorrectly named ports with "svn mv". In fact, that's what I expect we should be doing next. > If your hypothesis is that technical issues are at the heart of the > matter, you should provide some proof. For example, links to user/devs They are not "the heart" of the matter, they are just one of those things that altogether make up for nuisance. Technically it is still possible to work with ports even if they all named LiK3_7HiZ but it would be huge PITA compared to normal state of things. What you're doing is of course not as insane, but nonetheless still a pessimization. > In the case at hand, libQGLViewer, the software is commonly known as > libQGLViewer, its DISTNAME has capitalization, it installs directories > and binaries with capitalization, QGLViewer/libQGLViewer-qt5.so, and, > as you've mentioned, RedHat and Gentoo packages are also named with > capitalization. So, by all counts it should be named libQGLViewer. Perhaps. I cannot say that I fully agree yet, but at least you have provided some reasonable backing-up for this one. ./danfe
