Unfortunately the guidelines also forbid having two packages with names that differ only by case: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Conflicting_Package_Names Also, these days npm doesn't allow uppercase letters in package names, so stuff like this can't happen anymore: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/3914 The uppercased version is older and more recently updated: JSONStream: "modified":"2014-08-04T19:15:52.140Z", "created":"2011-09-23T11:01:36.806Z" jsonstream: "modified":"2013-06-11T13:36:13.038Z", "created":"2013-06-11T13:36:11.463Z" Therefore, I believe JSONStream the capitalized deserves the name. I'm about to send a mail to both upstreams and the npm registry admins to this effect (with you and Anish on CC). Let's wait and see what they say. If the capitalized version keeps the name, I would strongly recommend still calling the RPM package "nodejs-JSONStream" with the capitals so users don't mistake it for the lowercased version. I think this is a sufficient enough "compelling reason to follow a different upstream convention" as required by the guidelines. -T.C. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
