A few more details (the ticket comments aren't many, though): * In a previous Package Review request (bug 652085), it has been lower-case naming (sfml.spec and src.rpm). Different submitter and different reviewer as with the upper-case SFML package submission, but with no mention of the lower-case packages in other dists, and with no discussion of the naming guidelines. * One of the several bindings has been packaged in Fedora using lower-case naming and with a lower-case "-sfml" in its subpackage name, too. Same submitter as with the lower-case "sfml", but even another different reviewer. * Several of the bindings (there's the plan to package more of them) use a variety of mixed-case names, some all upper-case, others all lower-case. Especially with regard to Fedora's %{parent}-%{child} naming guidelines for add-on packages, it would get difficult and confusing to name the package family properly.
