I briefly talked with Allan on IRC about changing letter casing in pacman's output (e.g. when running 'pacman -Qi'), and he stated that I should gather feedback on the mailing list.
-1 from me. This is useless churn.
I would like to change from using title case to using sentence case where appropriate.
An example of the change would be the following snippet from 'pacman -Qi'.
** Currently: Depends On : coreutils linux-firmware kmod mkinitcpio>=0.7 Optional Deps : crda: to set the correct wireless channels of your country [installed] Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : kernel26 Replaces : kernel26 Installed Size : 65562.00 KiB
** After the proposed change: Depends on : coreutils linux-firmware kmod mkinitcpio>=0.7 Optional deps : crda: to set the correct wireless channels of your country [installed] Required by : None Optional for : None Conflicts with : kernel26 Replaces : kernel26 Installed size : 65562.00 KiB
Pros: I think it looks better aesthetically (although Allan disagrees) and looks more professional. Cons: Increased workload for translators for the next pacman release.
