It's just about that most ports names are all lowercase (and this is perfectly fine) and seeing capital letter is somewhat annoying. I was also under impression that this name was chosen by original submitter, not particularly you. If you search the archives for "Can we please please please stop adding ports ..." phrase you'll find that I've send it in the past for a number of occasions, and usually people had agreed. Also, I'm not sure how many ports have *last* letter or their name capital, but I can't recall any of top off my head. To me, it looks kinda ugly. > > You may also want to send a similar email to the maintainers of the 3842 > other ports with uppercase letter in their names, for the sake of > completeness. Yes, to tell you the truth, I'm periodically thinking about this. However, I'm not sure how to handle it the best way. Also, when port had just been added, it's far simpler to rename it as there's no repocopy required, since there's no history to preserve. > > P.S. you're really starting to tease me. I'm sorry you feel this way. To elaborate: I'm periodically picking some interesting commits (e.g., a port a care about, or description catches my eye, or something else) and take a look at actual diffs. I've noticed that last couple of my comments were addressed at your work, and I felt a bit embarrassed about it. Please don't be offended. FWIW, I didn't get any reply from you, so I'm not sure what did you think about the issues I pointed out. Bottom line: I'm not picking deliberately on you (or anyone else). I've been told already, that despite how polite one tries to sound, people don't really care for reviews unless there's something utterly wrong with particular commit. Obviously, style nits do not fall in this category. Thus far, I think I can just stop pointing out anything to people, leaving tinderbox' do their job, unless I know they care for style and aesthetics. Let's just all have fun we're trying to here. To a certain degree, this is sad, but true. ./danfe
