First I'd heard of it. It's mentioned in the "Package Names" section of doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.sgml. Look for the part that reads The first letter of name part should be lowercase. (The rest of the name can contain capital letters, so use your own discretion when you are converting a software name that has some capital letters in it.) and the example that says "No uppercase names for single programs". > Looking through INDEX also reveals that we have over 80 ports which do > exactly that. Some, like Xaw3d, have also been there for a very long > time. I have a vague recollection that the rule was added about a year ago as part of Satoshi Asami's plan to add new categories. I think he might have wanted to name the categories with initial capitals. The plan hasn't been carried out, so the ports that break the rule aren't yet causing harm. -- Trevor Johnson http://jpj.net/~trevor/gpgkey.txt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
