"For Python 3 libraries, use python-modulename. For applications, use the program name. In either case, the package name should be entirely lowercase." The module name is "git", thus the package name should be "python-git". Feel free to disagree with me, but I'm going to keep maintaining my package regardless. Don't merge it. -----Original Message----- From: "Andrea Scarpino" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2016 10:25am To: "Carl George" <[email protected]> Cc: "Andrea Scarpino" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: [PRQ#5834] Merge Request for python-git Hi Carl, quoting https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#pkgname: "The name(s) of the package(s). This should consist of lowercase alphanumerics and any of the following characters: @, ., _, +, - (at symbol, dot, underscore, plus, hyphen). Names are not allowed to start with hyphens. For the sake of consistency, pkgname should match the name of the source tarball of the software: for instance, if the software is in foobar-2.5.tar.gz, use pkgname=foobar. The name of the directory containing the PKGBUILD should also match the pkgname."
