Hello,



I have R 2.7.2 and RTools 2.8 on a vista pro computer. On my computer R CMD
build changes the file names : all capital letters are transformed into
lowercase letters (for instance the DESCRIPTION file is changed in
'description'). What can I do to correct this problem?

Use a less unreliable OS?

The copying is done in Perl, and so is out of our control. This may depend on the file system, and I've not seen this (nor have others reported it), except on Samba-mounted file systems, about which the FAQ says

  Your file system must allow case-honouring long file names (as is likely
  except perhaps for some network-mounted systems).

So sorry, unless that is the explanation this is beyond our control.




Tank you,
