[Fink-users] Case sensitivity issue with lasi-1.1.0-1001

Could this be a ppc/intel issue? I didn't get the error on my ppc iMac.

Oops--should have said:

Mine's a PowerPC, OS 10.5.2, running on case-sensitive HFS.

Regardless of the arguments from a user point of view, it is 
sloppy practice to rely on case-insensitivity for code to 
work.  And the Apple HFS+ case insensitity is implemented at 
a fairly high level, it isn't hard to have system calls that 
beat it.

Before I converted to case sensitive, a (paid for) piece of 
3rd party software managed to create two prefs files, 
ProductName.plist and Productname.plist, in the same folder. 
They had completely different content and were both used to 
store useful settings.  Of course, it made back-up to 
another HFS+ case insensitive file system fail.  After I 
converted to case sensitive, the same software required a 
couple of symlinks to correct the sloppy naming of the 
executables...but I was happier overall with smoothly 
working back ups.

I work in a linux dominated environment, that's why I run 
case sensitive.  I have no strong feelings about what is 
best for users, but I do think that programmers should 
remember that it is a case-insensitive *case-preserving* 
file system, and thus they should always take care to 
preserve case.
