"SPH" is also an abbreviation in > this case. There are plenty of projects named OpenFOO where FOO is an abbreviation (OpenSSL, OpenSSH, OpenTTD, etc.). All their package names are lowercase in most, if not all, distributions and package systems (across *BSD and GNU). Abbreviations often make part of the name in software (URL, SQL, FTP, WWW, ...) but they are typically lowercased in package names (with an known exception of p5-* and similar groups of ports). > On the other hand, you site tradition and consensus.

There is a consensus WRT PORTNAMEs as well, I'm sure you can easily notice it and obtain numbers with a simple shell script. That said, please, do not use mixed cased PORTNAMEs, "distinctive and diverse shape" does not help it here but only creates needless inconsistency and confusion. Pretty please. ./danfe
