Category: CVS Status: Closed Priority: 5 Summary: CVS checkout of savannah module is broken By: yeupou Date: ven 19.09.2003 � 23:24 Logged In: YES user_id=1896 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux 2.4.18-27.7.x.cern; i686) Ouach, I was not aware that non-case sensitive fs was still in use :) Hum, several time we have directories with this kind of names. But aren't you have to use a case sensitive fs like ext3 or whatever with MacOS X (maybe not for / but a least for some partitions)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By: lurk Date: ven 19.09.2003 � 19:02 Logged In: NO Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/85 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/85 I just figured out this bug. The problem is with the directory savannah/etc/site-specific-content/cvs I am running on Mac OS X and have a HFS+ partition. This particular file system is case preserving but not case sensitive. So during the checkout the CVS directory is being overwritten by the cvs directory and messing things up. I will just use my linux box later this weekend to grab it. I do not know what the GNU standards are for naming files and directories are but I know that internally we cannot use to names that differ only in case for exactly this reason. This will also cause problems for some windows users and OS/2 users if you care about them ;-) Thanks for all your help, -Eric ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?func=detailsupport&support_id=102459&group_id=11 _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
