 I believe so but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 are a good example. I never liked the python/ruby model which omits the
 periods. The ruby186 port is a good example of a confusing name.

 files (I currently have {{{patch-cmake-Modules-
 Geant4BuildProjectConfig.cmake.4100.diff}}} for example) and variants
 ({{{gate}}} could depend on two different versions of geant, I called them
 {{{geant495}}} and {{{geant496}}}; would more verbose variant names be
 better?)

 I wouldn't worry about renaming patches. Those are for port maintainers
 only. As for variants, I'm not actually sure if having a period in a
 variant name is valid. I can't think of a variant name that uses one so
 probably best to stick to {{{geant495}}} etc.
