Hello,

As per complains here that we should use URL rather than Url in the preamble of the spec-files I've decided to create quick doodle poll.
From parser perspective there is 0 difference but since there is vocal proposition for URL instead of Url that is now replaced by spec-cleaner.
Tag names are not case sensitive according to http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-tags.html
Therefore all spellings that are listed in that poll Url URL urL uRl plus all other case insensitive spellings are valid.
I think things like "Url vs URL" is another case where the discussion moves away from what the actual root issue is towards a marginal "how to enhance a tool in a specific way" expert talk that is - as far as I see it - here even about nitpicking patronizing without providing real usefulness.
What is the benefit for openSUSE users and contributors to enforce a special openSUSE uniformity for spelling things like "Url vs URL" regardless that both are valid?
I need to repeat myself:
What is more important for openSUSE: Be open and accept diversity or enforce uniformity?
Hi
Well from perspective of maintaining multiple packages, and possibility of future handover of maintanership of packages I would say that uniformity should be strongly preferred.
Cheers

I agree, i'm all for open uniformity, which seems to be what were achieving with this poll. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
