So have I: since OS X 10.5, in fact. I don't recall ever encountering a MacPorts-related problem with using case-sensitive HFS. In the past, I ran into a few problems with older (non-MacPorts) third-party Mac applications that did not work properly on case-sensitive HFS+, usually because of some silly mistyped mixed-case file name inside of the app bundle. Some discussion of a few recent apps here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/46322/what-programs-have-trouble -with-case-sensitive-hfsx-filesystems-and-how-to-fi That said, I haven't noticed a problem in years and I use case-sensitive HFS as the root file systems on all of my primary systems. I also use default, case-insensitive HFS on other test systems. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
