I think the uppercase chars are usually taken over if the package name is explicitly written that way in all appearances, so when the tar-file is calles FooBar-1.0.tar.gz, the name always appears capitalized that way in documentation/web pages, etc. I'm pretty sure this "rule of thumb" does not apply to one or more of the capatilized packages you gave, but this is what I remember from earlier discussions. Maybe this is somewhere written done, maybe it's not. > Xaw3d is great and all but does it deserve a capital letter over > xorg-x11 ? Well, XFree86 had two capitals ;-). -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
