--- Comment #7 from Kubilay Kocak <ko...@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #6) Python ports have always been lowercased, except for a small class of exceptions (Flask*) That this has 'changed in the recent past' does not change that. 1) PyPI package registry names are case insensitive 2) Python (upstream) package requirement (dependency) declarations can be in any case (and are often mixed). 2) Mixed case Python portnames makes *_DEPENDS declarations error prone. lowercase'ing Python portnames addresses some/most of that impedance mismatch. The porters handbook while a great reference, is not completely comprehensive nor a complete reference for every rule/guideline. It's also been documented in the Python Ports policy for a long time https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/PortsPolicy -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-python@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-python To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-python-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
