I did too read your report, but I stand by my position that upstream cp is doing the right things for a case-sensitive system, and that the problems you are encountering is not due to a bug in the algorithm used in cp, but due to a bug in your system configurations in not enabling case-sensitivity, so that your system violated the assumptions made by cp. I further stand by my position that upstream coreutils should not have to change anything; and that if changes are needed in cygwin (and they very well may be needed), that the cygwin list is a more appropriate place to discuss them, since only cygwin is affected by the burden of exposing the POSIX notion of a case-sensitive system when built on top of a case-insensitive setting in windows. We can reopen things if you can demonstrate the same problem without cygwin in the mix. But for now, as long as your recipe for reproducing the problem involves cygwin, then the cygwin list is the better place to discuss it. And no need to create a new bug number - if you will reply to the existing threads instead of starting a new one, you can add to the conversation of a closed bug, including adding new evidence on why the bug might need to be reopened. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
