Comment #1 on issue 8 by supersti...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Need a way to have
non-standard package names
https://code.google.com/p/haiku-depot-web-app/issues/detail?id=8
Why is this a problem? Obviously not having to worry about case is
convenient, extra convenient on the command line. In HaikuDepot, you search
for "QupZilla" and it will show you which package to install. Other package
management systems work just the same (i.e. the package for Ecplise in
Ubuntu is "ecplise"). Another argument is that the package system will not
let you have two packages with the same name. But allowing "display names"
and using them for example in the HaikuDepot listing or elsewhere
reintroduces the problem of name clashes.
