cant upload mlt++ to aur (invalid name)

Hi there,

today i tried to upload the mlt++ package to aur... i tried this before and failed but i had no time since to try it again and check why this happens, so i uploaded the package as mltplusplus...

now i want to fix the package name so that users can find it better, and when i upload the package named "mlt++" to aur, i get an error message saying: Invalid name: only lowercase letters are allowed.

so, here is the PKGBUILD:

pkgname=mlt++
pkgver=0.2.2
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="MLT is an open source multimedia framework, designed and developed for television broadcasting."
url="http://www.dennedy.org/mlt/twiki/bin/view/MLT/WebHome"
depends=('libsamplerate' 'gtk2' 'libogg' 'libvorbis' 'sdl' 'libdv' 'ffmpeg' 'mlt')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mlt/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('7f00c36c54d09d6159641e65955fcad7')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

   
it is definitely the package name causing this... so, needs the aur to be fixed?

-EDIT- I also tried it with pkgname="mlt++"

Re: cant upload mlt++ to aur (invalid name)

Ultimately, yes, the AUR should accept non-alphanumeric characters. Post a bug report, if someone hasn't already done so.
