ciaranm: what do you think about the last suggestion on renaming dev-util/cvs? I think it's a bad idea. You have an option for a sane file system on osx, right? We do have case-sensitive filesystem options on Mac OS X, mounting a separate filestysem image and using that for CVS. I think most of the ppc-macos devs use a non-ppc-macos box for cvs anyhow (as was suggested). I just wanted to add that, in MacOSX Panther (10.3) you have the option of making HFS+ partitions case sensitive. This is possible in gui on OSX Server. For OSX Client you need fingers, too: newfs_hfs -v "Volume Name" -J -s /dev/devicename You can lookup device name by various means, eg Disk Utility.app. Be sure to umount the device before formatting ;) I didn't test, but HFS+ case sensitive appears to work on MacOSX Jaguar (10.2) too, you just need to copy over the `new_hfs' binary. A word of warning, it breaks *some* MacOSX applications, eg: http://kb.dantz.com/display/2n/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=5262&r=0.6046106 (Retrospect) I got it running without troubles on my machines, just a really few apps have this problem. I think this solution is cleaner than having a separate disk (well, you can still have a separate disk image and use HFS+ instead of UFS then :). Also, you need to format your partitions to take advantage of it ... Closing out bugs that've been resolved for a while now... |
