A question for a prior version of the cvs package (the OP never
specified which one) discussed case sensitivity problems with Fink's
cvs package that weren't in Apple's. The current version in unstable
wasn't built with case sensitivity forced. The configure script has
this to say:
--enable-case-sensitivity
Force CVS to expect a case sensitive file
system.
Enabling this on a case insensitive system
should
have little effect on the server or client
operation, though client users may
ocassionally be
suprised that the CVS server appears to be
case
sensitive. Disabling this for a case
sensitive
server disables server support for case
insensitive
clients, which can confuse all users of case
insensitive clients contacting the server.
Disabling
this for a case sensitive client will
cause the
client to ask servers to behave case
insensitively,
which could cause confusion for users, but
also
probably no real harm. (default
autoselects based on
the case sensitivity of the file system
containing
the current working directory)
I'm unclear as to whether the last bit means
1) that by default at compile time the configuration decides whether
to build in case sensitivity based on the file system of the current
working directory of the package sources.
-or-
2) that the default means that the executable checks at runtime what
the filesystem of the CWD is and acts accordingly.
I welcome any opinions.
