Someone tell upstream about OpenIPMI :) It always takes me a few tries to
install that one because of the stupid uppercase...
Right. One of the parts that I disagree with the Fedora package naming
guidelines is that they adhere to the upstream name. That is senseless and
silly.
Besides a lot of packagers do not even follow the guidelines, as not all
python library packages have python prepended and not all packages follow
upstream. Sigh.
In cases like these I wish I was a Debian or Mandrake packager...
Common sense rules rule !
