well, in some cases, the CSWxxx name doesnt realliyhave to be "readable", that's what our "software name" is for. the PKG name is there almost just as a placeholder. and an argument AGAINST having - in the names: CSWxxx-yyy does not double-click-select in xterm. you ahve to click and drag to select it. in contrast, some_software_name selects as a single word. So, another vote for "no - in PKG names at all", if we are insisting on One True Standard. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
