No, it's not a legend. Ports with upper/mixed case are indeed discouraged (like we don't have `audio/DeaDBeeF', `lang/Python', `databases/PostgreSQL', `lang/GCC', `www/Firefox', etc.). It does not look unixish. There are few special cases when it is indeed desirable to match upstream closely, e.g. for CPAN packages, Python modules, those things with an established naming convention of their own and when we have to bring a lot of them to ports. For some random unattached port it's almost always better tolower() it. Perhaps PHB should be made more clear about it; I might have a look unless someone beats me on it. ./danfe
