Check the docs on the Gentoo site for nameing convention. I ran into this |

on an ebuild - currently emerge can't handle some of the names that are |
| 4 |
used. As long as the various ${P} ${PN} variables get set correctly in |
| 5 |
the ebuild you and change the name as you suggest. Whether or not it |
| 6 |
works depends on how the source you're getting it from stores it. I had |
| 7 |
one where the source needed the extra version info to retrieve it properly |
| 8 |
but portage wouldn't handle it |
