(Note: this isn't anything blocking, just an annoyance.) According to the Gentoo Linux Developers HOWTO (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml), ebuild names should contain only lowercase letters: "Naming ebuild Files Ebuild file names consist of four logical sections: The first section is the package name, which should only contain lowercase letters, the digits 0-9, and any number of single hyphen ('-') characters. Some examples are util-linux, sysklogd and glibc." But running # find /usr/portage/ -name "*[A-Z]*.ebuild" | wc -l shows that there are currently 450 ebuilds in the portage tree with uppercase letters in their names. The actual annoyance is that e.g. # emerge -s linneighborhood succeeds in finding net-misc/LinNeighborhood, but # emerge -p linneighborhood does not. IMHO, it would be good to either enforce the naming convention or make Portage ignore case completely.
