New comment by hippi777 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25633#issuecomment-709660487 Comment: hi folks :) i think it can be a strong reason to bring the package names any nearer to other distros (ok, i saw other interesting stuffs elsewhere, and i dont know enough, but it was strange when i saw the mixed case here...), and i think if this doesnt introduce any collision, then it must be doable (!=done). my 1st (naive/uneducated ?) guess would be to look up both the current name and the name with lowercase if the former cant be found, but this makes a transition period, that i dont know how long it should be... i can understand the thinking that says if it works then it doesnt need to be fixed, but i have no idea why it was introduced on the 1st place, so, out of curiosity, why? :D the greatest difference between all the distros out there is in their package managers and packages, bringing them any nearer to each other is a nice dream of mine, but void is the 1st distro i approached this closely, so i dunno how huge this dragon might be :D otherwise i saw the repology rules, so i have some idea :D also, a script that would install dependencies for various tasks to be done may need a nontrivial translator for package names between various distros, and while the basics will be mostly identical, i can think about nasty cases as well, so this is my other reason to vote on this change...
