Alexey and Tijl are not wrong, Yuri. Alexey has been crucial in maintaining
standards in the ports tree, and his input deserves far more than a
dismissive response.
I’ve been very torn when approving these reviews. On the one hand, the port
should be named what end-users call it, and (using the SCIP example) the
project refers to itself as SCIP 100% of the time. But on the other hand,
FreeBSD convention has ALWAYS been names that match what’s installed, and
controverting that breaks precedent and violates POLA.
I’ve been approving these because that’s what the projects call themselves.
But that’s not sufficient reason to break tradition, and it’s a
conversation that has to involve far more input than you and me.
For now, please focus on ports without capitalization questions until the
way forward is clear.
