Are all port names to be lowercase?
No.
Use whatever case gives you the greatest pleasure, or rather, best
matches the project name. There was a problem in MacPorts < 1.7.0
when the case of the port name did not match the case the user typed
on the command line. Users usually typed port names in all
lowercase, so ports that used uppercase letters caused problems for
those users. But now that MacPorts 1.7.0 has fixed that issue,
there's no reason not to use uppercase letters. We have 187 ports
currently using uppercase letters in their names.
Then to confirm this is correct, I use assp as the name of my port and
ASSP as the distname?
name ASSP
distname assp
That did not seem to work for me, I had:
name ASSP
version 1.4.3.1
distname ASSP_${version}-Install
This would yield a bad download for me, it could not locate it. The
download URL from sourceforge that works is:
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/assp/ASSP_1.4.3.1-Install.zip
Where does ports get the first 'assp' in lowercase in that url?
