--- Comment #34 from Ralf Corsepius <rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx> ---

"When naming a package you can take some cues from the name of the upstream
tarball, project name from which this software came, and what has been used for
this package by other distributions/packagers in the past. Do not just blindly
follow those examples, however, as package names should strive to be consistent
within Fedora more than consistent between distros. You should generally use
lowercase and turn underscores into dashes unless there's a compelling reason
to follow a different upstream convention."

Until today's very unpleasant FPC meeting this was meant to read as a
suggestion to use the tarball name, which should only be diverged when there
are compelling reasons to diverge from this rule. E.g. name clashes with other
packages or historic reasons.

Also take into account that we are talking about the rpm-names. Dnf and yum are
case insensitive in some aspects of package name handling, but rpm itself
(which is the only thing that matters here) is case-sensive. 

This is different from Debian/Ubuntu which has always had a "lowercase only"
naming convention and whose tools (to my knowledge) are completely lowercase
only.
