Dear all,
I'm currently packaging several python packages, and found that there are several packages available in mixed case notation (E.g. python-PyYAML or python-Sphinx). There is al global rule documented in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Package_naming_guidelines#Case_Sensitivity , saying whenever possible lowercase package-names should be used.
I have found lots of packages (like php5-pear-Horde*) in the php section and also many others in the python section. Shouldn't that be cleaned up (as a long-term-target)? For cross-distribution projects it makes things a bit difficult, as e.g. Fedora uses the lower-case filenames of several python projects.

I would just add a provides with lowercase name to existent packages and enforce the lowercase naming with new packages only. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
