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.
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.
