I disagree strongly. Misspelt package names is not the same as
spelling it right but not matching the right case.
Are you serious, feRNANDo? The
spelling being used is suppose to match
that of upstream - Similarly to your parents having named you "Fernando"
and not "fernando"?
In the previous example, I knew I wanted "Perl-xml-parser".
With a little experience, you would have known that all Fedora
perl*-module follow a strict naming scheme: perl-<module>, with <module>
being named the upstream's perl-module naming.
Does Red Hat allow two packages with the same name, but different
capitalization?.
In Fedora, in general, nothing prohibits packages whose names only
differ in capitalization. However, I am not aware about any real world
case having happened so far.
